Reviews

Why have the theorist Walter Benjamin and the term cultural translation become irrevocably connected? This is the mystery that the author attempts to elucidate. The resulting quest is accompanied by the very engaging voice of the narrator, who tells the story with the intensity of a novel — making for a rich and rewarding voyage into conceptual history. * Sherry Simon, Concordia University, Canada *
