Synopsis

<div><i>Two Lines</i> continues its two decade&#150;long tradition of excellence, hand-picking the best from translation&#8217;s acknowledged masters and world literature&#8217;s up-and-comers. In an all-new essay, Lydia Davis draws back the curtain on the processes she uses to make some of the globe&#8217;s most acclaimed translations. Mexican author Yuri Herrera, acclaimed as &#147;Mexico&#8217;s greatest novelist&#8221; by Francisco Goldman, delivers an action-packed tale of border crossings. Editor for <i>The Believer</i> Daniel Levin Becker shines a light on fascinating new work from the experimental Parisian collective the Oulipo. And irreverent Belgian sensation Jean-Philippe Toussaint lands new essays in the issue, one of which delves into the day he began to write. All these plus new writing from Japan, Romania, Peru, and more&#151;a vital space for cultures to merge and writers to flourish, <i>Two Lines</i> belongs in the hands of bibliophiles everywhere, as well as in front of writers and editors in search of a truly global perspective.</div>
