I used to be a lawyer, spending long hours in conference rooms negotiating business transactions – a life that felt diametrically opposed to one devoted to reading and writing. It did feel, at the time, as if one was close to the centre of the world as it operates these days. It also felt as if many things were wrong with that world. Reading and writing, which is what I do now, feel more truth-directed, yet they’re activities on the margins of the world as it currently functions. S.J. Naudé and Ivan Vladislavić discuss translation, divided cityscapes and the electric current in writing.
