Literary translation is made up of desires and sometimes frustrations. Anyone who practices literary translation has a dream that sometimes comes true and sometimes doesn’t. Rachel Martinez (No Crystal Stair/En bas de la côte, Mairuth Sarsfiels, .ll. Editions), Katia Grubisic (who dreams of translating Andrée Chédid), Lawrence Schimel (numerous works translated to English and Spanish) talk about their dreams and the reality, together with translator Madeleine Stratford (L’avalée des avalés/Swallowed, Réjean Ducharme, Véhicule Press).
