In this interview, I chat with Dr. Robert Alter (PhD, Harvard University) about his Hebrew Bible translation. We talk about translation theory in general and what he calls "the heresy of explanation." We discuss a range of other topics, as well: How the language of the Hebrew Bible compared with the everyday language of an ancient Hebrew, the poem in Jeremiah 20, the two creation stories of Genesis 1-2, as well as his personal writing practices through the years and a new book he's working on.
