Translating Ingmar A short tale about Ingmar Bergman

About this book

Two men were engaged to translate four film scripts written by an acclaimed director for a projected book to be titled "Four Screenplays by Ingmar Bergman." Included in the contract was a forward to be written by the director/author and sold in advance to a national literary magazine. The editor was pressed for time, the famous director uncooperative and recalcitrant, apparently unhappy to see his films turned into literature. The book's forward was not delivered as promised. Panic set in.
