Summary |
"In Origins and Legacies of Marcel Duhamel's Série Noire Alistair Rolls, Clara Sitbon and Marie-Laure Vuaille-Barcan counter the myths and received wisdom that are typically associated with this iconic French crime fiction series, namely: that it was born in Paris on a tide of postwar euphoria; that it initially consisted of translations of American hard-boiled classics by the likes of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler; and that the translations were rushed and rather approximate. Instead, an alternative vision of Duhamel's translation practice is proposed, one based on a French tradition of auto-, or "original", translation of "ostensibly" American crime fiction, and one that appropriates the source text in order to create an allegory of the target culture" -- Provided by publisher. |
