Legendary publisher and writer John Calder said of Barbara Wright that she was the most brilliant conscientious and original translator of 20th century French literature. Wright introduced to an Englishspeaking readership and audience some of the most innovative French literature of the last hundred years a world without Alfred Jarrys Ubu Raymond Queneaus Zazie and Robert Pingets Monsieur Songe scarcely bears thinking about. This wonderful collection of texts about and by Barbara Wrightincluding work by David Bellos Breon Mitchell and Nick Wadley as well as a previously unpublished screenplay written and translated by Wright in collaboration with Robert Pingetbegins the work of properly commemorating a figure toward whom all of English letters owes an unpayable debt.
