Reviews

This book is an important contribution to Francophone literary translation studies. Its approach to literary translation - not just in the conventional, linguistic sense, but more fundamentally as the expression, in the case of Francophone African writers, of what the author calls an 'alien' imagination in a European tongue-is of significance, beyond its immediate literature of reference, for second-language literary studies. (John Conteh-Morgan, Associate Professor of French and Editor of 'Research in African Literatures', The Ohio State University)
