'A wonderful showcase of foreign fiction' Prospect. 'Wynne's splendidly ecumenical anthology finds both light and warmth in its transforming fires' TLS. 'Frank Wynne's anthology reminds us that we are not condemned to languish in our cyber citadels. Translators are the travellers who let us into the secret that the cultural variety of the world is inexhaustible. What we might ultimately find in these translations is what we are permanently in danger of losing: our capacity to understand and live with difference' Irish Times.
