Tameme - Vol 1 Author:A. Manette Ansay, Alberto Blanco, Agust¡n Cardena, Catherine Mansell Mayo Tameme is the annual bilingual magazine of new writing from North America Canada, the United States, and Mexico. What does tameme mean? It is a Nhuatl word for porter or messenger. Our hope is that Tameme will play that role, bringing new writing both north and south. For example, here are Alberto Blanco, Jaime Sabnes, and Juan Volloro translat... more »ed into English; Margaret Atwood, Edwidge Danticat, and A. Manette Ansay translated into Spanish. I think you will agree: the originals are exquisite, the translations beautiful, and the juxtapositions very interesting. Tameme is also a forum for the art of translation. In the back you will find a section devoted to the translator's notes, some of them technical, some very personal, others reflections on the art of translation in general. One of our favorite reflections is from Geoff Hargreaves' notes: "The pleasure resides in catching the echo of an authentic sounding voice, which is not exactly yours or the author's, but the speech of an imaginary figure with feet that straddle the border." Enjoy! C.M. Mayo, Editor« less
