I've decided to write an article in 10 days. The idea is to increase the word count by 700 each day and end up with 7.000 words. I am on day 3 so I need to get up to 2.100 words.
I've decided to do a critique of Rothenberg's Suites--unfinished business from Apocryphal Lorca. My observation is that he tends to be wordy and unidiomatic. Then I have to show why, and then draw some conclusions. The idea is that a translation that has added value cannot achieve this by adding extraneous words. Lorca is so pared down that the translation is virtually unforgiving.
