The April issue of Asymptote is now out -- and worth your while, top to bottom.
Nevertheless, a few of the highlights:
- The Artist on her Trapeze: Barbara Wright's 99 Variations on a Theme by Raymond Queneau by David Bellos, on her translation of Raymond Queneau's classic Exercises in Style -- a piece apparently taken from Dalkey Archive Press' Barbara Wright: Translation as Art (see their publicity page, or get your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk), a book I regretably haven't seen yet (but now have on reserve at the library)
- The Space between Languages by Herta Müller
- Adrian West on Marianne Fritz
- Brief Notes on Science by Gonçalo M. Tavares
