Interlude as Anastomosis in Die Wahlverwandtschaften

The issue of translation, carrying over, transference, displacement, or BiId in the double sense of representation in another medium and metaphorical transposition, is present everywhere in Die Wahlverwandtschaften. It is not too much to say that the novel is not only difficult to translate but that it is about translation, in the broad sense of that term. In this sense the novel contains its own oblique commentary, before the fact, on the problems that will be encountered in translating it or commenting on it, that is, in creating a new text in a different fanguage that will be grafted on the original and draw its life from that original, while being as different from it as a grafted tree is from the rootstock on which it grows. The rhetorical name for this interpolation of a graft is anastomosis, the insertion of one word within another word, as in "underdarkneath," the example Joyce gives in Ulysses. An anastomosis, more broadly, is the insertion of one organ or vessel within another, or their connection by a tube, channel, or canal, as in Joyce's example of the navel cord or telephone line connecting us to Eden by a number combining zeroes and the straight lines of A or 1: AAOOl.
