I've been working a lot on translations, for a number of years. And I have never really engaged with the process of it very much - usually because I have a deadline and a piece of work to complete!!
As I face into this summer of 2008 and a period in which I'm planning to complete a number of projects that have been put on my long fingers for a long time, I'm starting the blog to document my translating work.
I hope you'll come on these journeys with me.
[A note on the blog's title: Mnemosyne was the Greek goddess of Memory, and was also the goddess of the Muses. She is also credited with the invention of words. These strange mythological connections between language, inspiration, creativity, past, present and future are remarkably prescient. Babel was, of course, the Biblical site of the confusion of languages, in the Book of Genesis.]
