In Catching Fire, the translation of Diamela Eltit' s Never Did the Fire unfolds in real time as a conversation between works of art, illuminating both in the process. The problems and pleasures of conveying literature into another language-what happens when you meet a pun? a double entendre? -are met by translator Daniel Hahn' s humor, deftness, and deep appreciation for what sets Eltit' s work apart, and his evolving understanding of what this particular novel is trying to do.
