COLLABORATIONS

Collaborative Translation, March 2023

Translated from the French by Lauren Elkin, Natasha Lehrer, Sophie Lewis, Jennifer Higgins, Ruth Diver, Naima Rashid, Clem Clement and Jessie Spivey.As she tries to collect them for an essay she is planning to write, other women’s words begin interfering in Clara Schulmann’s life — heard on the radio, in podcasts, songs, and films; words of novelists, feminist intellectuals, friends or strangers overheard in the street. Like weeds, like bad seeds, these wayward words invade her psyche, reshaping the essay that she once had in mind into a picaresque adventure. Sinuous and timely, Chicanes reveals Clara Schulmann as an author whose own voice is going to hold weight in years to come.A poly-translation, Chicanes showcases each of its female translator’s individual voice.
