Reviews
"James Boon is one of this country's most exciting theorists and practitioners of cultural comparativism. The book is an exemplary work on, and of, cultural translation and the hazards thereof. It is marvelously conceived, brilliantly executed, and almost astonishing in the range of its erudition." --Marc Manganaro, Rutgers University
