520			_aTo most of us, "subversion" means political subversion, but 'The Subversive Scribe' is about collaboration not with an enemy, but with texts and between writers. Here she considers the act of translation itself to be a form of subversion. Rather than regret translation's shortcomings, Levine stresses how translation is itself a creative act, unearthing a version lying dormant beneath an original work, and animating it, like some mad scientist, in order to create a text illuminated and motivated by the original.
