Edouard Roditi

Edouard Roditi

Edouard Roditi (1910-1992) was an American poet, short-story writer and translator. He was born in Paris to American parents, and subsequently studied in France, England, Germany and the USA. He published several volumes of poetry, short stories, and art criticism. He was also well-regarded as a translator, and translated into English original works from French, German, Spanish, Danish and Turkish.

In 1961, Roditi translated Yashar Kemal's epic novel "Ince Memed" (1955) under the English title "Memed, My Hawk". This book was instrumental in introducing the famed Turkish writer to the English-speaking world. "Memed, My Hawk" is still in print.

In addition to his poetry and translations, Roditi is perhaps best remembered for the numerous interviews he conducted with modernist artists, including Marc Chagall, Joan Miro, Oskar Kokoschka and Hannah Höch. Several of these have been assembled in the collection "Dialogues on Art".
