  Our very interesting new friend Derik Badman at urlLink madinkbeard has brought an essay by Harry Mathews to our attention. Entitled urlLink "Translation and the OuLiPo: The Case of the Persevering Maltese" , it comes from his Mathews' book The Case of the Persevering Maltese: Collected Essays , published in 2003 by Dalkey Archive. The essay -- hell, why not, the book -- looks really interesting too... Thanks Derik!
