David Bellos, professor of French and Italian and comparative literature and former director of the Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication (PTIC) spoke to the Telegu-language podcast "Harshaneeyam" and discussed his journey into translation and "Is That a Fish in Your Ear."

In this wide-ranging conversation, Bellos emphasized that translation has always been a balance between self-expression and scholarship and touched on the challenges of humor in translation and the complexity of dealing with a third language in texts.
