“Primo Levi's - I mean, he's a very different kind of writer. He's a much more formal writer. He's a much more -almost detached. I mean, I wouldn't really say that he's detached ultimately. But he does write as a scientist, and so he describes things very - in great detail, very carefully.” WritingKindMeanDoeDifferentScientistDetailsDifferent KindsFormalDetachedLevi's Author:Ann Goldstein
“I think that if you are sticking to the text, essentially, you're not trying to write your own version of it. I mean, of course, it is your own version of it. And every translator would probably have a different version. But I think that that's what keeps the writers from being individual in English. They may be my English, but I don't think that Ferrante sounds like Levi.” IfsThinkingWritingTryingMayMeanDifferentCoursesIndividualSoundVersionsTranslatorsWrite Your Own Author:Ann Goldstein
