Lost in Translation

Lost in Translation is a science fiction novella by Laurence M. Janifer, written in the early 1960s. The story follows Korvin, who crash-lands on the planet Tr'en, as he navigates the complexities of communication and understanding between different species. It examines how literal interpretations can obscure deeper meanings, particularly in a highly rational society, making it a notable exploration of translation and logic in interspecies interactions.
