Guardian Bookshop Notes:

From the author of "Politics", this examines literature in translation, exile and tourism.

Publisher's description:

Travels from Rio de Janeiro to Prague, from Moscow to London, from Trieste to Paris, from Warsaw to New York and on its zigzagging flight, it reinvents our ideas of style, and translation - introducing new theories of jet lag, of the time difference. This novel finds problems with accurate translations, and praises imperfect ones.
