TRANSLATE AND COMMUNICATE…

On 8 December, The New York Times included an article, 'Translation as Literary Ambassador,' by Larry Rohter, which focused on the support that European countries, large and small, increasingly and creatively provide towards promoting the translation of their literature in the USA. "We have established this as a strategic objective, a long-term commitment to break through the American market,” said Corina Suteu, who leads the New York branch of the European Union National Institutes for Culture and directs the Romanian Cultural Institute. “For nations in Europe, be they small or large, literature will always be one of the keys of their cultural existence, and we recognize that this is the only way we are going to be able to make that literature present in the United States."
