Penguin Press/Particular Books editorial director Helen Conford has bought world rights in Is That A Fish In Your Ear by translator David Bellos.
Conford pre-empted the book from Claire Paterson at Janklow & Nesbit. Is That a Fish in Your Ear? reflects on the art of translation and what it tells us about communication.
Conford said: "I knew immediately that we had to become David's publisher. His book is charming, funny and fascinating and will delight numerous readers around the world."
Penguin will take the book to Frankfurt and will publish in the Particular Books imprint for Christmas 2011.
