All About Literary Translation

"It’s one of the paradoxes of translation that you often have to be unfaithful
 in order to capture certain effects in the original."

(Denis Feeney, as quoted by Steve Coates
in 'A Closer Feel for Virgil's Latin')
Linguistic Problems and re-translations of classics
Review by Michael Dirda (Washington Post) on Breon Mitchell's new translation of Günter Grass's Die Blechtrommel (The Tin Drum) 
                                                                                                                                                         Centres for Literary Translators
