The Translator,
by John Crowley
A novel about the relationship, in the Cold War era, between a
young college-student writer and a famous Russian expatriate poet; about how
words relate to reality; about what is real and what isn't; about poetry, and
about translation (again, what is real). John Crowley's ability to
convey multiple nuances and levels of reality is well displayed in this, his
latest novel; thus, the translation theme. As with all of Crowley's
fiction, a sense of beauty and wonder pervades the book.
