- Summary
- "Like sailing into new ports of call, Strange Harbors suggests that reading the world's literature can ignite affinities across languages and literary traditions - and that the art of translation can distill familiar experiences from disparate lands. Featuring a special focus on Turkish poetry and a preview of Edith Grossman's latest work, Strange Harbors ferries poetry and fiction from eighteen languages and twenty-three countries to English-language readers. Highlights include: A Catalonian twist on painter Edward Hopper's noir Americana; A Romanian tale about a bizarre contest at a communist beach resort where the top prize is a paddleboat ride in the Black Sea with a teen beauty queen; and a story about the devastating legacy of Agent Orange on the people and culture of Vietnam." --Book Jacket.
