Additional information
A Translated Man researches the limits of what Foucault calls the ‘author-function’ through the means of ‘fictional poems’, to use Bruns’ term. Not a hoax (the book foregrounds its fictiveness), this work operates in some relation to the Ern Malley Hoax and to the use of heteronyms by Pessoa. The positions of editor, two translators, fictional poets within fictional poets, are deliberately enigmatic. The supposed bi-lingual but multiform oeuvres of Van Valckenborch are inherently unstable, although the linguistic divide of modern Belgium forms a non-ironic, even tragic, focus for the otherwise comic poems.
