Fish in your ear - The Interview

Good morning. I have yet another link related to the book: Is That a Fish in your Ear? This time, it's an interview on NPR with the book's author, David Bellos. Looks like at least one translator is getting some national recognition in the States.

Enjoy!

Another quick post: I just read this article http://www.salon.com/2011/10/30/how_do_you_say_balls_of_gold_in_french/singleton/#

from Salon.com, which touches on some of the issues discussed in David Bellos's book. Interesting stuff, indeed.

Is That a Fish in Your Ear? Time for comments

Hello fellow CATI bookworms,

As I mentioned in my last post, I recently bought and read the book "Is That a Fish in Your Ear?" by David Bellos. It's a very good read in general, and I highly recommend it for anyone in the translation/interpreting sector.

There are so many good points addressed that I don't where to begin, but over the next few weeks, I'm going to re-read the chapters and post some thoughts on this blog.

Please feel free to comment, and if you have the chance, pick up the book and let me know what you think. I'll look forwarding to hearing from you.
