The Emperor, China ink, 70x50 cm.
Alla cieca by Claudio Magris Anne Milano Appel, a former library director and language teacher, has been translating professionally for more than ten years. She is active in both ALTA and ATA and is a member of PEN. Several of her book-length translations have been published, and shorter works that she has authored or translated have appeared in other professional and literary venues. Her translation of Stefano Bortolussi’s novel Head Above Water was the winner of the 2004 Northern California Book Award for Translation. Her translation of Terror: The New Anti-Semitism and the War Against the West, by Italian journalist Fiamma Nirenstein, was published in 2005 by Smith & Kraus Publishers, and translations of books on Treviso and Venice were published by Vianello Libri, also in 2005. The novel The Mosaic Crimes by Giulio Leoni is forthcoming by Harcourt. Claudio Magris was born in Trieste, Italy, in 1939. A versatile and prolific writer, his work includes essays, novels, plays and travelogues, often with a blending of genres. Among his works published by Garzanti are: Dietro le parole (1978), Itaca e oltre (1982), Illazioni su una sciabola (1984), Danubio (1986; published in the United States as Danube in 1989 to great acclaim), Stadelmann (1988), Un altro mare (1991), Microcosmi (1997, for which he received the Premio Strega and which appeared in English in 2001 as Microcosms), and La mostra (2001). His most recent works are the novel Alla cieca (2005) and the novella Lei dunque capirà (2006). A professor of German Literature at the University of Trieste, Magris is a regular contributor to the Italian daily, Corriere della Sera. He lives in Trieste. Translator’s Note 1 The two works by Claudio Magris from which these passages are drawn are closely related thematically and metaphorically, though formalistically they are quite different. In the expansive, densely written Alla cieca (Garzanti, 2005), the novel that precedes Lei dunque capirà (Garzanti, 2006), one of the narrative voices, who composes inscriptions to be carved on headstones, explains that the story to be written on the tombstone must be concise yet provide all the essentials: gravestones are concentrated novels. Or better yet, he
