19 Ways of Looking at Wang Wei: How a Chinese Poem… par Eliot Weinberger

An extremely interesting look at poetry, translation, culture, and implication. I think it would’ve been interesting to have a conclusion at the end wherein the essayist takes a holistic look at the interpretations. He does draw comparison here and there between the different translations, but a final portion comparing what he deems the best and most lacking translations would’ve been a nice end.

Angels & Saints par Eliot Weinberger

I've only finished the first section (Angels), but -- what a wonderful small book. Full of knowledge ... full of ... things. Like a jewel. I 'discovered' this one via the London Review of Books, and otherwise know Weinberger only as a fine translator (Huidobro's Altazor).

19 Ways of Looking at Wang Wei: How a Chinese Poem… par Eliot Weinberger

A delightful, grumpy consideration of translation issues through a single Chinese poem.
