Mrs. Lowe-Porter
“Literary giant Thomas Mann balked at a female translator when his publisher, Alfred Knopf, suggested one. Still, he might well owe his standing in the Western canon to a little-known American woman, Helen Lowe-Porter. Based closely on historical source material and interviews with the family, Jo Salas’s novel Mrs. Lowe-Porter sympathetically reveals a brilliant woman’s struggle to be appreciated as a translator – along the way, she finds her voice in a culture of male dominance. 2024 will be the 100th anniversary year of the publication of Buddenbrooks, the first of Mann’s novels to come out in English in Helen’s translation, which won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1929.
Jo Salas is the only person who has access to the private journals of Helen Lowe-Porter. Jo’s mother-in-law, Patricia Lowe, was Helen and Elias Lowe’s daughter. Patricia began to write a memoir about her illustrious parents but died before she could finish. Jo Salas inherited her research. In reading Helen’s letters, her erudite, humble introductions to Mann’s novels, her illuminating essays about translation, and her poetry, Jo heard the echoes of other women artists, then and now, torn between their creative vision and their devotion to family and profession. Her rich novel MRS. LOWE-PORTER was born.”
