PRAISE FOR THE MAN BETWEEN & MICHAEL HENRY HEIM

“Michael Henry Heim was an unusual person, a scholar of many talents, a dedicated linguist, a gifted translator. With his passing, I have lost a friend. The gap he leaves will not be filled.”

—Günter Grass

“This is a wonderful and illuminating account of a wonderful and luminous writer. Heim’s impact on American letters was profound and far-reaching. [The Man Between] pays handsome tribute to the work of a uniquely adventurous translator, and shows just how much we all owe to him.”

—David Bellos

“This delightful collection provides a richly detailed portrait of the life and work of an extraordinary writer, translator, linguist, scholar, educator, benefactor, intellectual—above all, an extraordinary human being. . . . I am proud to have known this brilliant—and yet entirely unassuming and modest—polymath. Readers of The Man Between are in for a rare pleasure!”

—Marjorie Perloff
