Reviews

With Kantian elegance, Malmkjaer's clever and beautiful argument brings into thought the aesthetic pleasures that we translators feel but that are commonly not supposed to exist. She identifies an unsung creativity that respects the translation form and can be found in our everyday work. Anthony Pym, University of Melbourne, Australia Kirsten Malmkjaer can always be relied on to produce interesting, innovative and thought-provoking writing. The current volume is no exception: engaging, informed and insightful. I highly recommend it to readers. Mark Shuttleworth, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong

Mark Shuttleworth, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong If you ever thought translation involved re-creation rather than creation, you will have to rethink after reading Malmkjaer's fine book. She tests translation against all the known criteria of creativity and finds that translation meets them all and is a supremely creative activity.
