🗃️I wonder if anyone has written about one Arthur William Evans #translator of Penguin Island (by Anatole France) French to English. Pub date 1909. I search for newer #translations because this saga seems relevant! #xl8 #literarytransla Perhaps someone is working on this rn?

“I have a chair, and I sit on it.”
Just read this in Katharine Halls’ translation. Protagonist is an Egyptian employed in the bureaucracy factory that takes the place of welfare services in the UK, one of an army of migrants dealing with society’s weakest so nobody else has to.
