What if we thought of translation as a visit to a bounce house where languages jump together, trading sound and gesture, forming illegitimate kinships to whisper their \"etymological gossip\" into our poems, dreams and dictionaries? In this new book, translation emerges from a translingual imagination--a plea for the delightful entanglement of languages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Uljana Wolf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1643623125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643623122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nightboat Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Uljana Wolf","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47473743954175,"sku":"9781643623122","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/etymological-gossip-uljana-wolf-9781643623122","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
