The New York Review of Books podcast page has an interview with author Tim Parks on a new translation of Pinnochio:
Novelist Tim Parks speaks with Andrew Palmer about Geoffrey Brock’s new English translation of Carlo Collodi’s children’s classic Pinocchio, and the book’s origins in the political and cultural tumult of 1880s Italy.
The editor of NYRB Classics observes that
Pinocchio, a book as mysteriously matter-of-fact as an early morning dream, is a brilliant evocation of the promise and precariousness of childhood, when the world is both new and immemorial and everything is possible and yet, because one is a child, nothing is.
I will place an order for Bundoora Library.
