A rich harvest from a renowned translator, an elegant survivor
In 1996, in his eightieth year, David Gascoyne was awarded the
Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Arts et Lettres in recognition of his
profound contribution to French literature and art. This collection
includes some of his best work -- early translations, recent unpublished
translations, and a substantial section of translations printed in
journals over the past twenty-five years.
