Where Does "Lost in Translation" Come From?

Hoffman eventually moved to New York and worked as a professor at institutions such as Columbia University and CUNY Hunter College. Lost in Translation was published in 1989, while she was working at the New York Times as an editor and writer and serving as senior editor of "The Book Review." Because Communism had slowed the pace of change in Krakow, Hoffman was able to visit her hometown in Poland and find things mostly the same, which inspired her to write the memoir. Update this section! The origin of the idiom "lost in translation" is not clear, but it may be related to an earlier expression, "lost in the mists of time."
