Edith Grossman and George Guidall, Don Quixote: Found in Translation

Thursday, March 1, 2007 - 6:30 PM | Members' Room

Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote has been called the first modern novel and the greatest book of all time. Edith Grossman's 2003 translation won high praise from critics and led Harold Bloom to dub her "the Glenn Gould of translating." Here she talks about the joys and challenges of translating this immortal novel, with readings by award-winning audiobook narrator George Guidall.
