These include the way we think about the intersections between translation and other forms of writing, between translation and space, between translation and memory, between translation as process and product.

The interviews, conducted as part of the study, offer fascinating new perspectives on the transnational movement of the same (often Eurocentric) texts between and across languages as well as revealing the possibilities and challenges the translation process offers in different linguistic and cultural spaces worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e«Building on an impressive list of critical readings and interviews, Wren-Owens uses the lens of translation to offer a precise and evocative study of Tabucchi’s works.
