Journal Article
Translating Steinbeck
2017
Overview
Though John Steinbeck's novel The Pearl is based on an anecdote he supposedly heard in Baja, Mexico, during his trip with Ed Ricketts to the Sea of Cortez, in order to transmute the tale from a brief, Spanish-language story into an English-language novel meant for an American reader, he had to both convince the reader of the story's “Mexican-ness” and provide a “domesticated” story for Americans. To do so, he employs expeditionaries' and translators' techniques as well as the novelist's empathy.
