In ‘Catching Fire’, the art of translation unfolds in real time as a conversation between works of art, illuminating both in the process. The problems and pleasures of conveying literature into another language – what happens when you meet a pun? a double entendre? – are met by translator Daniel Hahn’s humour, deftness, and deep appreciation for what sets Eltit’s work apart, and his evolving understanding of what this particular novel is trying to do.
