Yoko Tawada's Portrait of a Tongue: An Experimental Translation by Chantal Wright - Literary Translation
Yoko Tawada
Yoko Tawada's Portrait of a Tongue is a meditation on language and equivalence between German, Japanese, and English. Wright's experimental approach to the translation draws attention to the presence of the translator and her role in mediating Tawada's original reflection on language for an English-speaking audience.
