A new month and a new Reading the World Podcast, this time with Suzanne Jill Levine, famed translator (of Three Trapped Tigers<\/em>, of Heartbreak Tango<\/em>, of dozens of other wonderful books) and author of the very influential The Subversive Scribe: Translating Latin American Fiction<\/em>. <\/p>\n

We recorded this back at MLA<\/span> in December (in a bitterly cold Philadelphia—which seems WEIRD<\/span> given the fact that it’s frickin’ 70+ degrees in CNY<\/span><\/em> right now), where the focus was translation and Jill talked a lot about the then forthcoming Borges series that she had edited for Penguin Classics. (With the help of the very cool John Siciliano.) <\/p>\n

Anyway, the first two volumes of the Borges series are now available: Poems of the Night<\/em><\/a> and The Sonnets.<\/a> And galleys for the last three books—On Mysticism, On Writing,<\/i> and On Argentina<\/i>—recently arrived in the mail. I’m planning on reviewing these three, starting with “Mysticism,” which has been on my mind a lot of late. (Aided by my recent PKD<\/span> bender. And obsession with Lost<\/em>) <\/p>\n

We talk a bit about this special Borges series during the podcast, but for more info, check my post<\/a> from this past December.<\/p>\n

Double admission: I rarely, if ever, listen to anything I’m involved in, or read anything written about me. But I just listened to this, and holy shit, it’s even more incredible than I imagined possible. (And I don’t sound like a complete ass! Sweet!)<\/p>\n

So, please, please listen, let me know what you think, and if you can, subscribe on iTunes and give us a review. (This link<\/a> goes directly to the iTunes RTW<\/span> Podcast page.) And pass this along to any and everyone you know. We really want to spread the word about these before starting the second (and third) rounds of taping . . . <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
