Translator's identity[edit]

The text of the article currently notes that Ficciones was translated into English in 1962 by an "Anthony Boucher". What's our source for this? I own a 1963 edition of Grove Press's 1962 English edition of Ficciones, and it attributes the translation into English to Emece Editores in 1956. It lists the editor as "Anthony Kerrigan" and makes no mention of any Boucher. Do we need to correct the article, or am I misinformed?

Corrected, thanks. Xanthoxyl ^< 09:20, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, now it attributes the translation to an "Anthony Bonner", who is redlinked. Is someone having a bit of fun here, or is poor Anthony the man of a thousand surnames? It's a trivial detail to get right, but I'm baffled why we keep getting it wrong. Or, again, is my edition (which I'll admit is simply a paperback edition that might possibly contain an error) wrong to identify the editor as Anthony Kerrigan? 71.239.174.150 (talk) 07:02, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It seems it was translated by several people who were not credited properly in the first edition. Xanthoxyl ^< 18:13, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See http://www.complete-review.com/reviews/borgesjl/ficciones.htm for a potentially complete-list of this title's translators. (IIRC each story in the Grove Press edition has the translator's name, at the end. I'm not at home this week so cannot check.) Anthonys Bonner, Boucher, and Kerrigan, have all translated various of Borges' works. –Quiddity (talk) 18:24, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
