 * ... that American poet Peter Filkins was the first to translate Czech writer H. G. Adler's novels, described by The New Yorker as "modernist masterpieces", into English?


 * Symbol question.svg source doesn't explicitly mention that, "Filkins was the first to translate Adler's novels into English" &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me) 19:37, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I've added a specific reference. In addition to the references on the page, this NYTimes review of Filkins' translation of The Journey says: “The Journey,” which was written in the early 1950s, is the first of his six novels to be translated into English."
