Anne Carson wins Nobel Prize in literature 2026 2 hours ago (theguardian.com) 4 comments sonabinu Reply Add to library garbawarb 2 hours ago Well deserved. Autobiography of Red is stunning, the fragmentary form gives such mythical weight to every word. lucius_verus 1 hour ago Totally agree. Surprised to see this on the front page of HN, but Autobiography of Red absolutely gutted me. hn1rig3rak 2 hours ago Having worked on a few Greek translation projects, the thing I always come back to with her is how she leaves the gaps in Sappho visible instead of smoothing them over. Brackets on the page. Most translators can't resist filling those in. saintblasphemer 3 minutes ago For a similar approach I would recommend checking out Guy Davenport's 7 Greeks. His translations of Sappho and Diogenes are commendable.
