in Europe, of course, and probably the whole world over outside the States (Oh, when will the Nobel equivalent of some sports authority accuse us of being “insular†and not participating in the global athletic conversation?), except in those US publications whose gazes are directed outward, toward foreign cultures, where you’ll find my two latest translation publications:
- in the July “Sports” issue of Words Without Borders, an excerpt from Anouar Benmalek’s story “The Penalty”
- Soccer also makes the cover of July’s World Literature Today–John Turnbull’s “The Literary Landscape of Soccer”–which otherwise sports Sherman Alexie’s grinning mug. Inside, check out my translation of Belgian Bernard Quiriny’s “Fear of the First Line,” the title story of his first collection.
Enjoy!
