J. M. John Michael Cohen Books

John Michael Cohen was a prolific translator of European literature into English. He launched his translation career with the first English rendering of poems by Boris Pasternak, then unknown outside the Soviet Union. His translation of Pasternak garnered praise from American poet John Ashbery. Cohen played a pivotal role in bringing Latin American literature to English-speaking audiences, particularly during the Latin American Boom of the 1960s, and also authored works of literary criticism and biography.
