Kasia Szymanska is lecturer in the Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies at the University of Manchester.

"[Translation Multiple's] greatest value lies in its emphasis on how studying translation can reveal cultural mores, political attitudes, and varying degrees of social health. . . . Szymanska’s book demonstrates language’s ambiguity as an inherent element of translation. Translation brings us face to face with the excessive multidimensionality of literary texts. Perhaps for some the realization that we use language but are far from controlling it (or even understanding it) might prove unsettling. Yet this encounter helps us understand the radical potential for freedom laid within the human genome inside language itself."---Matt Reeck, On the Seawall --- "Insightful. . . . This innovative study not only defines and contextualises an important new concept within translation studies but also situates it firmly within the Polish post-communist literary landscape and analyses canonical works from a fresh perspective."---Daisy Towers, Babel --- "Translation Multiples is a pleasure to read, a crisply written text which thinks sensitively about contemporary, experimental literary works. The work is generous, adventurous, and open to multiple readerships: it is a rewarding addition to translation studies, contemporary Anglophone, Polish, and Slavic literary studies, while also engaging with debates in contemporary literature."---Panayiotis Xenophontos, Slavic and East European Journal --- "[A] landmark study."---Alex Braslavsky, Slavonic and East European Review --- "A welcome reminder of the vitality of literature and literary studies in non-major languages."---Ina Schabert, Translation and Literature --- "A refreshing, contemporary approach to translation. . . . This book can be read as a scholarly study but also as an introduction to a particular line of avant-garde literary practice and, as such, it may be inspiring for both literary scholars and creative practitioners. In the field of translation studies, it will become required reading."---Magdalena Kay, Canadian Slavonic Papers --- "[A] celebratory, pluralist approach to translation."---Jess Jensen Mitchell, Hopscotch Translation
