Found in the original: Multilingual anthology

While I was wading through the myriad book exhibits at the carnivalesque MLA conference in San Francisco (7000+ people here, they say), I happened across the very cool-looking Multilingual Anthology of American Literature: A Reader of Original Texts with English Translations published in 2000 by the New York University Press, edited by Marc Shell & Werner Sollors. The book’s description says that it is a first-of-its kind publication, and “brings together American writings in diverse languages from Arabic and Spanish to Swedish and Yiddish, among others”

An addition for the BLC library, perhaps? 🙂
