Currently reading - haltingly - Kafka's short fiction in German and it's blindlingly obvious how funny it's supposed to be, much more so than in translation. So many of the sentences are structured like deadpan gags.

Join us for a housewarming & book launch at Transit Books HQ! Iman Mersal (@imanmersal) and Lauren Markham will discuss TRACES OF ENAYAT (tr. Robin Moger), with a wine reception to follow.

I recently commissioned a translator to produce a sample of a novel I wanted to read that is not available in English. The experience got me thinking. Is there scope for a crowdfunding platform where translators pitch projects and produce versions when enough people pledge?
