PERFORMING WITHOUT A STAGE: The Art of Literary Translation. The first overview of this important, exciting, yet most invisible of performing arts, which gives us access to the world's literature. The book deals with such matters as the history of literary translation, the publishing, reviewing, and teaching of literary translations, the literary translator's nearly nonexistent public image, the literary translator's fidelity to the author, and the value for writers and scholars of studying and practicing literary translation.

320 pp., ISBN 0-945774-38-9. Only available as an e-book, including as a free e-book from Catbird Press.
