“Translation is like any art: in the best of cases, it helps shed light on ourselves, on those hidden corners of ourselves that we barely knew existed, and whose discovery has enriched us. It exposes us to minds and voices able to awaken in us a particular sense of delight, an irreplaceable thrill of discovery that is avail- able nowhere else. The ability of these minds and voices to do this is unique, not because they come from a foreign land—or at least, not solely because of it—but because they are sui generis, as exceptional in their own culture as they appear in ours.”
Mark Polizzotti

“Every translator’s origin story seems to involve a measure of serendipity, and mine is no exception.”
Mark Polizzotti, Sympathy for the Traitor: A Translation Manifesto

“Tom Thumb’s Bluesâ€� paints a picture of bluffing and loss, of being in over your head, of fearing that you can never return home. When one has strayed so far away from the road, the only recourse is to go all the way back, as north and east as Juarez is south and west. “I’m going back to New York City, I do believe I’ve had enough,”
Mark Polizzotti, Highway 61 Revisited
