JGR On HOW


I was invited to write the inaugural essay for Rear View Mirror, a new column under the aegis of HOW Journal that aims to reintroduce neglected and undervalued authors to a new audience. I’m excited to be a contributor to the project, and I hope readers of AMB will keep an eye on the column, as it promises to discuss some of the most significant writers still waiting in the wings.

The Higher The Level Of A Work, The More Does It Remain Translatable
Even If Its Meaning Is Touched Upon Only Fleetingly,
Or: João Guimarães Rosa, The Whole Wild Word
