Mireille Gansel grew up in the traumatic aftermath of her family losing everything-including their native languages-to Nazi Germany. In the 1960s and 70s, she translated poets from East Berlin and Vietnam to help broadcast their defiance to the rest of the world. In this half memoire, half philosophical treatise Gansel's debut illustrates the estrangement every translator experiences for the privilege of moving between tongues, and muses on how translation becomes an exercise of empathy between those in exile.
Mireille Gansel has published translations of a number of distinguished poets including Nelly Sachs, Peter Huchel, and the great contemporary poet Reiner Kunze, whose work she introduced to French readers, as well as letters by Paul Celan to Nelly Sachs. After living in Hanoi in the seventies, she published the first volume of classical Vietnamese poetry translated into French. For a long time she contributed to La Quinzaine Litteraire, the literary magazine founded by Maurice Nadeau. Her second and third books as an author, Une petite fenetre d'orand the poetry collection Comme une lettre, were published in France in 2017 by Editions La Cooperative, and her new volume of memoirs Maison d'ames is to be published in spring 2018. She is also the author of Larmes de neige(poems, 2006) and Chronique de la rue Saint-Paul(2010). Traduire comme transhumer (Calligrammes, 2012) has also been translated into German and Italian, and editions in several other languages are underway.
