This collection of essays by a team of internationally respected researchers at the cutting edge of translation studies was inspired by the idea of “writing forward” as a strategy for theatre translation proposed by David Johnston, the award-winning translator and scholar. Opening this volume is a conversation between David Johnston and Lawrence Venuti in which they explore a broad range of topics that bear on the translation of theatrical texts for performance. The chapters that follow are grouped into three main parts. Part I, “Extending translation”, contains essays whose respective theoretical emphases test, push, and stretch traditional conceptual boundaries. Part II, “Translating for theatre”, zooms in on various aspects of theatre translation. Part III, “Translation and creativity”, shifts the focus beyond the stage to other forms of artistic expression: poetry, painting, film, and television. Finally, in the short play Noli me tangere, written especially for this volume, Juan Mayorga reflects on theatre as the art of distance and on the mysteriousness of translation as the art of negotiating that distance. Thinking about and practicing translation as “writing forward” underscores its perpetual provisionality and hermeneutic openness; its ability to surprise and stimulate but also remind and reassure. By enriching our understanding of translation, performance, and creativity, this volume will no doubt inspire further explorations into their fascinating complexities. Useful and important reading for advanced students and researchers of literature, theatre, culture, and translation.

Writing a New Environmental Era first considers and then rejects back-to-nature thinking and its proponents like Henry David Thoreau, arguing that human beings have never lived at peace with nature. Consequently, we need to stop thinking about going back to what never was and instead work at moving forward to forge a more harmonious relationship with nature in the future. Using the rise of the automobile and climate change denial literature to explore how our current environmental era was written into existence, Ken Hiltner argues that the humanities—and not, as might be expected, the sciences—need to lead us there. In one sense, climate change is caused by a rise in atmospheric CO2 and other so-called greenhouse gases. Science can address this cause. However, approached in another way altogether, climate change is caused by a range of troubling human activities that require the release of these gases, such as our obsessions with cars, lavish houses, air travel and endless consumer goods. The natural sciences may be able to tell us how these activities are changing our climate, but not why we are engaging in them. That’s a job for the humanities and social sciences. As this book argues, we need to see anthropogenic (i.e. human-caused) climate change for what it is and address it as such: a human problem brought about by human actions. A passionate and personal exploration of why the Environmental Humanities matter and why we should be looking forward, not back to nature, this book will be essential reading for all those interested in the future and sustainability of our planet.

At an age when most girls are curating picture-perfect Pinterest wedding boards, twenty-six-year-old Jess Klein is sobbing over a stack of divorce papers. Everyone told her marrying Chris was a monumental mistake, but stubbornness and blind adoration kept her from heeding their advice. Not long after saying "I do," Jess is living in her "forever home" all alone, lamenting what could have been. Attempting to piece her shattered fairytale back together while discovering what being on her own truly means, Jess inadvertently seeks solace in a roundup of losers. From the Guy Who Refuses to Eat, to Mr. Neurotic Neat Freak, to the One Who Refused to Grow Up, her luck with love seems to have run dry. In a desperate attempt to fix herself from the inside out, Jess seeks out advice from the lovable Dr. Green, a seventy-year-old shrink who feels like the only one to truly understand her plight. As Jess continues to fall forward, confident in nearly every aspect of life except for matters of the heart, she embarks upon a journey of self-discovery she never imagined she needed, begging the question: Can she have it all...just not all at once?FALLING FORWARD explores self-identity, the power of female relationships, and the painful realization that sometimes you need to lose the life you had in order to create the one that's waiting for you.

Real-World Writers shows teachers how they can teach their pupils to write well and with pleasure, purpose and power.

Based on their practical experience and what research says is the most effective practice, the authors share detailed guidance on how teachers can provide writing study lessons drawing on what real writers do and how to teach grammar effectively. They also share a variety of authentic class writing projects with accompanying teacher notes that will encourage children to use genres appropriately, creatively and flexibly. The authors’ simple yet comprehensive approach includes how to teach the processes and craft knowledge involved in creating successful and meaningful texts. This book is invaluable for all primary practitioners who wish to teach writing for real.

Beautifully written and unexpectedly moving, John Darnielle's audacious and gripping debut novel Wolf in White Van is a marvel of storytelling and genuine literary delicacy. Welcome to Trace Italian, a game of strategy and survival! You may now make your first move. Isolated by a disfiguring injury since the age of seventeen, Sean Phillips crafts imaginary worlds for strangers to play in. From his small apartment in southern California, he orchestrates fantastic adventures where possibilities, both dark and bright, open in the boundaries between the real and the imagined. His primary creation, Trace Italian, is an intricate text-role playing game that enables participants far and wide to explore a dystopian America, seeking refuge amidst the ruin. However, when two high school players, Lance and Carrie, extend the game into their reality, the consequences are horrifying, leaving Sean to account for it. Darnielle’s Wolf in White Van invites us to comprehend the depth and intricacy of Sean's life. Told in reverse, the story draws us back to the moment that fundamentally altered Sean’s life as he knows it.
