The most famous translations are Chaucer's "Troilus and Cressida", "In the Name of Love. English Cavalier Poets of the Seventeenth Century," Shakespeare's "The Comedy of Errors," and numerous books of children's poets, including Dr. Seuss and Julia Donaldson.
"Don't forget to say thank you, get up and leave on time..." - so sounds the full line from Marina Boroditskaya's poem that closes this book of truly scrappy prose. It includes a poignant memoir "Pushkinskaya, 17" about childhood and growing up in the heart of thawing Moscow, and the secrets of translation skills, and memories of friends-colleagues-translators-poets, and miniatures from her notebooks.... And of course, the book is generously peppered with poems.
