The Impossible Transfer: July 2008
http://impossibletransfer.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Let Us Praise Weird English. Book critic James Wood recently wrote a flattering review. Of Aleksandar Hemon's new book. In it he describes Hemon's extraordinary background. Wood goes on to praise the foreign-ness of Hemon's prose. Occasionally, he flourishes a lyrically pedantic Nabokovian bloom, as with the “fenestral glasses” a character wears. The line about restoring buried meaning to words like "vacuous" and "petrified" reminds me of the essay by Ted Hughes I wrote about.

The Impossible Transfer: May 2008

Saturday, May 31, 2008. The Rise Of The "Glocal" Englishes. In Stephen Dubner's Freakonomics blog, there was an interesting post titled, "What Will Globalization Do To Languages? The whole thing is worth a look, but I've decided to excerpt a point Professor Mark Liberman makes about how the center of gravity of English is shifting. The future of English] is going to be defined not in America or Britain, but by the new economies of places like Bangalore, Chongqing, and Bratislava. Links to this post.

The Impossible Transfer: Myung Mi Kim & Translation
http://impossibletransfer.blogspot.com/2008/09/myung-mi-kim-translation.html
Saturday, September 20, 2008. Myung Mi Kim and Translation. Writers of color" are often talking about (and asked about) the challenge of audience. Who are they writing for? In reference to "Kwangju" in her poetry, the interviewer asked the poet Myung Mi Kim (in Words Matter: Conversations with Asian American Writers). To say, for example, Kwangju calls into attention certain kinds of audiences with certain kinds of knowledge. How do you imagine your audience? What I like about her poetry (though I find m...

The Impossible Transfer: Idiomatic Slippage
http://impossibletransfer.blogspot.com/2008/09/idiomatic-slippage.html
Monday, September 22, 2008. I made a comment on Facebook the other day on what a wonderful hit job. Jon Stewart did on Bill O'Reilly, Karl Rove and Dick Morris. And I wrote, "Really knocks it out of the park.". I was looking over that comment and thought to myself, "knocks it out"- no, that's not right it's "hits it out," because clearly, it's a baseball metaphor, and you don't knock balls, you hit them. Or am I just mistaken about this? Are both expressions okay? I don't actually think that "knocks it o...
