Translating Andrea Camilleri into English: an Impossible Task? by Gaetano Cipolla Gaetano Cipolla is a well known authority on Sicily. He is a Professor of Italian at St. John’s University. He is President and Editor of Arba Sicula, an international organization that promotes Sicilian language and culture, and President of Casa Sicilia. He has translated L’origini di lu munnu, Don Chisciotti and Sanciu Panza and Moral Fables by Giovanni Meli; The Poetry of Nino Martoglio, Malidittu la lingua/Damned Language by Vincenzo Ancona; and Nino Provenzano’s Vinissi/I’d Love to Come... As publisher/editor of Legas, Dr. Cipolla has founded two series of books dealing with Sicilian culture: “Pueti d’Arba Sicula,” which has already published 7 volumes, and “Sicilian Studies” with 12 volumes to its credit. Dr. Cipolla also edited J. Kirk Bonner’s Introduction to Sicilian Grammar, and is the author of The Sounds of Sicilian: a Pronunciation Guide, (Legas) available on CD. His most recent works are Siciliana: Studies on the Sicilian Ethos, (2005) a collection of his essays on Sicily and Ninety Love Octaves by Antonio Veneziano, edited, introduced and translated into English verse by G. Cipolla. (2006). Andrea Camilleri—who seems to have replaced Gesualdo Bufalino and Vincenzo Consolo as the current writer who best expresses the island’s “sicelitude”—is enjoying tremendous popularity in Italy. His books seem to be ubiquitous and he seems to have an inexhaustible supply of them stashed away in his desk drawer. So much so that I saw an article in Arte e Folklore di Sicilia, a quarterly publication of Catania, which proclaimed in capital letters “Basta, Camilleri!”which I could readily translate with “Enough already, Camilleri!” making a rhyme without attempting to do so. At any rate, everyone who dabbles in translation or has an interest in it when the subject of Camilleri comes up, inevitably asks “how in the world can you translate Camilleri?” Needless to say, I count myself among those who have asked the same
