G脺NTER GRASS, TRANSLATION AND TRANSLATORS
Revisi贸 de l鈥檕bra liter脿ria de G眉nter Grass des del punt de vista de la seva transmissi贸 interling眉铆stica i intercultural, centrada en l'inter猫s de l'escriptor per l'elaboraci贸 acurada i la bona transmissi贸 de la seva narrativa. Aquesta actitud el va portar a fer que els seus editors organitzessin sistem脿ticament reunions de l鈥檃utor amb els traductors, moderades per experts i molt extenses i minucioses. Alhora, es passa revista a una s猫rie de dificultats plantejades per alguns dels textos de l鈥檈scriptor i les propostes de soluci贸 que s'examinaven i posaven en com煤 en aquelles trobades. Aix铆 mateix es comenten algunes caracter铆stiques de l鈥檕bra de Grass que representen esculls complexos de superar per part dels traductors, juntament amb algunes estrat猫gies emprades per l鈥檃utora d'aquest article en intentar traduir-les al catal脿.This paper intends to review the literary work of G眉nter Grass from the point of view of its interlinguistical and intercultural transmission, given his interest for careful elaboration and good transference of his narrative. This attitude caused him to force upon his editors the systematic arrangement of lengthy and detailed meetings between the author and his translators, which were moderated by well known experts. Remembering those meetings affords the chance to revisit a sample of difficulties which appear in several works by the author and the proposals for solving them which were exposed and examined at those meetings. This personal remembrance gives also a chance to look at some characteristics of Grass' works which make them hard to overcome in translation, while briefly dwelling on some strategies we used on trying to translate several of his texts into Catalan
