Geteilt, konfus oder genial? – Der Kapellekensweg fordert Übersetzer und Leserschaft: ein Gespräch mit Gregor Seferens über seine Neuübersetzung aus dem Niederländischen

Divided, confus or genious? - The Kapellekensweg challenges translators and readers: a conversation with Gregor Seferens about his retranslation from Dutch

Research output: Contribution to journal › Book/Film/Article review

Abstract

„De Kapellekensbaan“ is now considered a milestone in Dutch-language literature. While the novel was positively reviewed in the Netherlands after its publication in 1953, it was controversial in Flanders for a long time because of its experimental and socio-critical character. The book is challenging both aesthetically and in terms of content, and suggests that the task of translation is not an easy one. A conversation with translator Gregor Seferens about the strategies he uses to mediate this extremely complex novel to a German audience.
