Traduire Maryse Conde: entretien avec Richard Philcox

Article Abstract:

Maryse Conde chose her husband, Richard Philcox, to translate her work into English and this interview with him focuses on the importance of gender and race in her work. He does not agree with his wife that a translation is a totally different work from the original. As a translator, he does not believe that the books should be geographically displaced so he uses English expressions from the Antilles where the books take place. The text of the interview is in French.
