Tyndareus Crushed, by Igor Mitoraj (taken August 2005)

`READIN`

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

— John Stuart Mill (view other epigraphs)

READIN started out as a place for me to keep track of what I am reading, and to learn (slowly, slowly) how to design a web site.

There has been some mission drift here and there, but in general that's still what it is. Some of the main things I write about here are reading books, listening to (and playing) music, and watching the movies. Also I write about the work I do with my hands and with my head; and of course about bringing up Sylvia.

The site is a bit of a work in progress. New features will come on-line now and then; and you will occasionally get error messages in place of the blog, for the forseeable future. Cut me some slack, I'm just doing it for fun! And if you see an error message you think I should know about, please drop me a line. READIN source code is PHP and CSS, and available on request, in case you want to see how it works.

See my reading list for what I'm interested in this year.

READIN has been visited approximately 236,737 times since October, 2007.

🦋 Neruda resources

There seems to be a lot written about translating Neruda's poetry. Here are a couple of things I've found this morning.

A concordance of words in all of Neruda's poems. You can also view the concordance sorted by frequency. The concordance includes the text of all of his poems, in Spanish.
John Felstiner wrote a book about Translating Neruda.
Esperanza Figueroa wrote an article for Revisto Iberoamericana called "Pablo Neruda en Ingles," which is cited frequently; it does not appear to be online however.
George Schade wrote an article for Questia called "Sight, Sense, and Sound; Seaweed, Onions, and Oranges: Notes on Translating Neruda," which is online but restricted to Questia subscribers.
Teresa Longo edited a collection called Pablo Neruda and the U.S. Culture Industry, with essays about reading and translating his poetry in a cultural context.
The Universidad de Chile has a selection of Neruda's works online, with tapes of the poet reading several of his poems.
