Abstract
A Creative Non-Fiction piece on my experiences of language and translating incorporating elements of Critical and Translation Theory. By deconstructing popular phrases pertaining to translation, including those invoking ‘joy’ and ‘fidelity’/‘faithfulness’, the essay concludes by offering ‘intimacy’ as the basis for an alternative paradigm for literary translation.
