This week's podcast is the first one Tom and I have recorded in almost a month. So after a bit of catching up, we talked about David Bellos's new translation of Simenon's Pietr the Latvian, the difficulties of translating "I love you" and all the swears into Japanese, and the list of "The 20 Best Books in Translation You've Never Read." As necessary, we also talked about the baseball playoffs and a cute flowchart.
