Words Without Borders is a wonderful monthly literary e-magazine, specializing in translation of short pieces of foreign writing into English, with a small print publishing program, too. This month's issue focuses on current pieces by the members of Oulipo, including Olivier Salon, Michèle Métail, Anne F. Garréta, and others. In addition to the Oulipo works, the issue contains news writing from Sudan. Given Stanford's new Translation Studies program, this is a great resource to know about. You can subscribe to get email updates each month.
