What does Daney sound like? Although I’ve spent years immersed in it, I haven’t yet tried to describe Serge Daney’s voice. Translation is more akin to listening than it is to description, or even intellectualisation, and translating The Cinema House and the World has been a practice of tracking a plurality of voices, of following the confident, clipped gait of Daney’s thought as it burns fast through a variety of subjects and forms with almost impossible ease.
