In Jim Jarmusch's "Father Mother Sister Brother" (2025), there's a bookshelf in the house of the father (Tom Waits). It reminded me of a bookshelf in Jarmusch's "Paterson" (2016) that features "The Walk", a book by Robert Walser (1878-1956), translated by Christopher Middleton and my friend Susan Bernofsky and published
"Much gets lost in our eagerness to acknowledge that much gets lost [in translation].”
