- More about Making the ‘Invisible’ Visible?: Reviewing Translated Works
The book examines criteria against which translated fictional and non-fictional works are assessed, comparing reviewing practices in the UK, France, and Germany and assessing how translations are reviewed differently on various platforms. It challenges the notion that fluency is the main criterion against which translations are read and assessed by reviewers, ultimately rendering the translator «invisible».

Publisher: Peter Lang International Academic Publishers
This book delves into the evaluation of translated fictional and non-fictional works, offering a unique cross-cultural perspective on reviewing practices and comparing how translations are reviewed in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. It also examines the assessment of translated works by reviewers from various platforms, ranging from popular platforms open to public reviews to mainstream broadsheets and cultural supplements to specialized literary magazines. Drawing inspiration from Lawrence Venuti's The Translators Invisibility: A History of Translation, which explores the reviewing of translations, the book challenges the notion that fluency is the primary criterion for reviewing translations, ultimately rendering the translator "invisible." By providing a timely and comprehensive update to Venuti's study, the book sheds light on the status of translation in book reviews and offers valuable insights into the evaluation of translated works.
