Silver river

Fa unes setmanes, la Sílvia Panisello i el Brian Cutts em van fer un regal especial, un regal d'aquests que agraeixes tant per la seva espontaneïtat, per la seva generositat, perquè es fa sense cap motiu aparent. Em van regalar la traducció a l'anglès del conte "De paper de plata", del recull El vertigen del trapezista, amb el nom Silver river. Aquí teniu el fragment inicial:

"They’re not biting today. It doesn’t matter; fishermen can be as patient as it takes. Despite the bluff and bluster of some, most of them afford less importance to the size and amount of fish caught than to the pleasant time they spend sitting peacefully here, in the company of their thoughts and getting to know themselves a little better than they did yesterday. People say that you have to know something or somebody really well before you can love them; if these fishermen invested just half the time in thinking about themselves as they do day-dreaming, they would truly come to love themselves. In this I have no doubt, being a firm believer in mankind’s common sense, usually."



Per si això fos poc, el Jordi Ferré anuncia al seu blog que Cossetània ha elegit El vertigen del trapezista per a incloure'l al Books in catalan, el catàleg que l'Associació d'Editors en Llengua Catalana editem cada any en motiu la Fira de Frankfurt, i en la qual ofereixen alguns llibres per a ser traduïts a altres idiomes.
