By Tess LewisOne of translation’s greatest powers — its ability to take a text out of one historical period, literary tradition, language and set of conventions and transplant it into another — is a delicate procedure. A negligible percentage of the books published in the United State each year are literary translations and a vanishingly small percentage of these are reviewed in print or online.

I went to the Metropolitan Opera last night somewhat nervous. Onstage would be Tosca. In two of the main roles would be veteran stars: Sondra Radvanovsky (Tosca) and Bryn Terfel (Scarpia). They have given so much, for so many years. Would they have much left to give? They have a lot, yes. They were good. In fact, stupendous. From her opening cries of “Mario!” (three of them), Radvanovsky was sovereign. She was una vera Tosca, a true Tosca. Italian, mercurial, and smart, smart, smart.

An obolus is a small silver coin the Greeks placed under the tongues of the dead so they could pay Charon as he ferried them across the river Styx to the underworld. Andrew Rickard named his Montreal-based publishing business Obolus Press because he translates and publishes works of literature by dead French and German writers that have never appeared in English.

By Tess LewisAs a food enthusiast and former caker, I find myself being overly critical of baked goods and cakes. I was, however, pleasantly surprised with the cake from Deputy Donuts, of Beachlands. It was visually impressive from the very first glimpse. The presentation was top-tier, and it was packaged beautifully. The real magic happened when we cut into it. The cake was impressive in its dimensions, about 20 centimetres tall and 15cm wide and had a double barrel.

Whether you’re stepping out for a casual brunch, a day at the office, or a night on the town, adding jewellery, scarves, or headwear can transform your look from ordinary to exceptional. The subtle glimmer of a necklace catching the light, the delicate sparkle of earrings framing your face, jewellery has a unique ability to add sophistication and personality to any ensemble.
