Interpreters is a novel written by Carl Van Vechten in 1920. The book is set in New York City during the early 20th century and follows the lives of several characters who work as interpreters. These interpreters come from different backgrounds and speak a variety of languages, including German, Italian, Yiddish, and Spanish.The novel explores themes of immigration, assimilation, and identity. It delves into the struggles that these interpreters face as they try to navigate their new lives in America while also staying connected to their cultural roots. The book also touches on issues of race, class, and gender, as the characters come from different socioeconomic backgrounds and face different forms of discrimination.Interpreters is written in a modernist style, with fragmented narrative and stream-of-consciousness techniques. The book is known for its experimental structure and its vivid portrayal of New York City during the early 20th century. It is considered a significant work of American modernist literature and an important contribution to the genre of immigrant fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
