The Pleasure of the Text

In this podcast episode, we use the act of translation as a technique/device to develop "The Reticence of Lady Anne" by Saki. This method forces the reader to produce a 'slow reading', to get to the heart of how each word, chosen meticulously, has the ability to change and enhance the work as a whole.

To join in on the exercise, you can download the "The Reticence of Lady Anne"  here.

To see how Gareth and I fared in the exercise, you can see our work in progress here.

Show notes can be viewed here.
