Alastair McEwen on the Future of Language - 302 - Alain Elkann Interviews","description":"A LIFE IN TRANSLATION.&amp;nbsp;Alastair McEwen was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, in July 1950. He is a man of letters, a former teacher and, above all, one of the most distinguished translators of Italian literature into English. To date, he has published over 100 book-length translations (novels and non-fiction), essays, articles, and poems, plus several feature film scripts and operatic librettos. He has translated some of the most important Italian writers of our time: Umberto Eco, Roberto Calasso, Antonio Tabucchi, Fleur Jaeggy, Alessandro Baricco, Aldo Busi and many others. &quot;One of the great pleasures of translation: you are constantly learning about subjects you previously knew nothing about.&quot; &quot;Translations change because language changes.&quot; &quot;If you stop reading for a month, the modern world moves so quickly that you can fall behind to an extraordinary degree.&quot;  https:\/\/www.alainelkanninterviews.com\/alastair-mcewen\/ ","author_name":"Alain Elkann Interviews","author_url":"https:\/\/www.alainelkanninterviews.com\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/42873315\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/ea6c35\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/206229300"}
