Brice Matthieussent the translator is confirmed by more than two hundred American fiction authors from prestigious such as Jack Kerouac, John Fante, Thomas Pynchon, Bret Easton Ellis, Charles Bukowski . Revenge of the translator with , he signed a first novel that is at once an essay, a fiction and a very playful style exercise, which are an extension of its core business.
So often the image of the translator is drowning in the author's original text, though the prose of the first is treated as a transcription of his master's voice, the translator is nevertheless an author fully capable to breathe new life into an anchor text in one language. Torn apart by a duty of loyalty vis-à-vis the progenitor of the work, and the other by the desire for creativity, the translator strives to strike a balance that suits him. The novel Brice Matthieussent meanwhile rushed into the breach of the spirit of a translator rebel who, annoyed to find themselves cornered in the bottom, forced to track the asterisks behind a host of words, to illuminate certain phrases in the unflattering name of NOW, decides to put his two cents in the work which it has responsibility. Disoriented by the questionable quality of the text to which it faces, it takes more and more freedoms vis-à-vis the author to remove up to an astronomical amount of adjectives and adverbs myriad, all deemed unnecessary by the sorcerer's apprentice. Then there are stage directions interspersed between the dialogue, as useless as the previous ones and therefore will experience the same fate. To offset the significant reduction, the translator makes the additions of his own and who, in his view, greatly enrich the subject. David Grey is capricious, cheeky, irreverent, indulging in copious criticize the work he will have to translate, interfered with the plot for the sake of a radiant nymph straight out of Nabokov's Lolita , which appears to be an avid reader, taking pleasure in concocting custom Machiavellian perfidy against Abel Prote. To slip away while responding to the call of his endless initials, the masked avenger, Zorro the literary changes its signature as a shirt, putting his turn in the Nique stealthily, the tracker of nymphets in the trap of nausea or Nique Tarzan. The translator takes his ease in the skyline confining its eccentricities, its Footnotes page becoming increasingly invasive, were escalating to the integrity of the author, lift up the thin black bar that pulls its weight on them. The center of gravity of the work moves imperceptibly, without the essential symmetry between the different actors in the making of the text is thereby provided shaken.

But then, omniscience Elementary writer Abel Prote endangers the durability of the initiatives undertaken by the translator. The latter had the illusion of impunity is playing the father of the text reveals, despite himself, he is dependent on the chess board ordered by the author. Thus, the American translator and French author will share their own temporary apartments, situated on both sides of the Atlantic, to mislead his alter-ego who finds himself as the puppet of the Goya painting, tossing between heaven and earth. The trap goes further since both men are ultimately as the characters in a novel that incorporates one in which the two are rivals, The Revenge of the translator, like Russian dolls themselves trapped in other figures.
Beyond the complex plot to perfection, the text is peppered with allusions to the impulses of the translator who wishes to dispense with the original work. The text is found ultimately a reflection of the invisible text which vacant space on the page reinforces the fictitious weight, indicating the impossibility of total disappearance of the text which the translator tries to eliminate the traces at the scene of his crime was almost perfect.
