This piece of work compares the Anglo-Saxon way to teach how to write a story with the French way to teach students how to speak fluently in public in order to approach Spanish problems in teaching to speak and write. It suggests some different approaches to translation (after Walter Benjamin, Derrida, Ortega y Gasset) and hints some dangers, blessings and miseries of translation. The article includes comments on different experiences translating American fiction (T.C. Boyle, Patricia Highsmith, Richard Ford, Rick Moody, Cynthia Ozick) and French fiction (Isabelle Eberhardt) and tells the experience of translating my own short stories to English with the help of an American writer, to discover the unconscious reasons and meaning of every word.Downloads
