There are funny, moving pen-portraits of Wittner's two children, suddenly grown, as well as bell-clear descriptions of the task of writing. For this is also a collection about language itself - as an interface, as a surface, and as vital communication. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTranslation of the Route\u003c\/i\u003e is Laura Wittner's eleventh collection.
