Here, A Wall in Palestine, which René kindly agreed to allow me to translate on the assurances of a mutual friend who had approached me for the daunting task. Originally published in French, and in France by Fayard, then by Gallimard Folio, and since translated into several languages, the English version was published by Picador / MacMillan in 2010. Finalist that same year, for the French-American Foundation Translation Award. Thank you, René, for your trust with your important work, and for our friendship. */9780312427818 */book-reviews/rene-backmann/a-wall-in-palestine/ */book/9780312427818 *Curiously, I can no longer find the review at the time in the Washington Post. #translation, #palestine, #btselem
René, sois heureux là où tu es, comme tu l'as toujours été dans la vie et parmi nous tous. À travers ta vie ainsi qu'à travers ta vie à écrire sur l'humanité-ses blessures et sa bonté--tu nous as tous rendus plus conscients de nos blessures, et de notre bonté. Merci. */medias/20260130.OBS111996/mort-de-rene-backmann-reporter-engage-et-grande-figure-du-nouvel-obs.html */institutiremmo/photos/cest-avec-beaucoup-de-tristesse-que-nous-avons-appris-la-mort-de-notre-ami-rené-/896272102951059/ #UnMurenPalestine, #AWallinPalestine, #journalist, #palestine, #middleeastnews, #translation
