Daniel Cascella reviews The Swan Whisperer by Marlene van Nieker (Cahier 25) for Music & Literature
鈥淔or some time now I鈥檝e been reading The Swan Whisperer over and over as if under a spell, driven by the idea that what links the swan in the title and the words in the text is sound. The word 鈥渟wan鈥� comes from the Indo-European root 鈥渟wen-鈥�: 鈥渢o sound.鈥� And according to some versions of the legend, Orpheus was transformed into a swan after his death.鈥�

Tony Malone reviews The Swan Whisperer by Marlene van Niekerk (Cahier 25) and Translator鈥檚 Blues by Franco Nasi (Cahier 26)
鈥淭he Swan Whisperer is an intriguing work, a text which swings between narrative and non-fiction, a little ambiguous in what it鈥檚 supposed to be. 鈥� Is it all fiction?听 Is it based on reality?听 Does it really matter? 鈥� As much as Translator鈥檚 Blues is about the genial Nasi鈥檚 cultural experiences, however, it also looks at the perils of translation, with the title a clever nod to some of the anecdotes contained within.鈥�

鈥溾��The editors of Music & Literature have given over a third of their latest issue to Ugresic, and my copy of the magazine is already thoroughly dog-eared and underlined. Ugresic鈥檚 writing is radical, accessible, aggressive, pungent, and funny, and she is one of the most unique writers in exile at work today鈥攁nd one of the best writers, period. In an interview in the issue with Daniel Medin, she explains that 鈥渁s an outsider I was free to shape my own literary taste, to pick my own literary traditions, to build my own system of literary values.鈥� She is quick to add, however, that 鈥済oing against the mainstream is not an aesthetic category.

"You have written non-fiction about visual art (Willem Boshoff) and fiction in response to art (The Exploded View and Double Negative, although the relationship between each book and the images that catalysed it is complex). In Portrait with Keys your narrator describes artworks, both hypothetical and real. A Labour of Moles combines images and text, and, in one edition,Double Negative was jointly packaged with David Goldblatt鈥檚 TJ. Some visual art is more about concept than craft. It may even amount to little more than a fresh idea, and be capable of being produced or performed with relatively little effort. Fiction can, of course, not work like that. Embodying a concept in words entails labour."

Poet B.A. Rice blogs on why Elfriede Jelinek's Her Not All Her should win the Best Translated Book Award
"Her Not All Her, the Searls version, changes the play into something even more meaningfully weird. As Searls explains in his afterword, a correct rendering of the title in English would be He Not All He. The transgendered version, then, establishes the work as Searls鈥檚 own, an original, analogous to the ways Walser鈥檚 originality is collapsed into Jelinek鈥檚 in her text. It鈥檚 an inspired decision that makes Searls鈥檚 own role as translator something of a conceptual performance, an exposure of translation鈥檚 inherent failure that perversely enhances the play鈥檚 linguistic themes."

Likewise, the twenty-five pages of text, taken from the music critic and librettist听Paul Griffith's Moon Pavillion: 99 Noh stories, contain spare, impressionistic summaries of eleven pieces from the Noh stage, which focus on either one or two characters alone."听

Geordie Williamson on the essays of Simon Leys
The message these pieces drive home with wit and uncommon clarity is this: there is a central truth that may - no, must! - be spoken. There is a manner by which life may be lived fully and well. And there is a richer, deeper, grander conception of human nature than we are currently given to understand. Such certainty is the wonder and the glory of the essays.
