Lydia Davis, a very smart cookie, just translated Madame Bovary for Viking Press. Read Kathryn Harrison's review from The New York Times, and Ms. Davis's own reflections on the project in The Paris Review.
How will Emma's world and thoughts change when seen through the lens of Ms. Davis? Emma is such a vividly drawn heroine. I can't wait to read this translation.
