Nabokov in Covers: No secret that I am a big fan of book cover design and am loving the posts at A Journey Round My Skull. Over at the Book Design Review, they have a short piece about Nabokov covers. It's no doubt how we subconsciously respond to visual aesthetics, and covers like this are definitely worthy of mention as art itself.
Making the Translator Visible: Over at Three Percent, the unstoppable Chad Post is doing a cool series that highlights 25 translators. If you're interested in the process of how translators get chosen, styles of translating and the overall philosophy of translation, this is a series to read. The goal of a translator is to be invisible to a reader, so to speak, the efforts of translators should not be invisible. Cheers to Chad on this one!
