podcast on literary translation

Thanks to Katherine W. for pointing out this enjoyable podcast on the Guardian website about literary translation. Claire Armitstead interviews Anthea Bell, OBE, one of the UK's best-known translators, and Aleksandar Hemon, the Bosnian-American author and editor of the anthology Best European Fiction 2010 published by Dalkey Archive Press. They also look at a recently compiled list of the 50 bestselling books in Europe which has some surprising names on it.
