Hello,
I'm a Spanish/Translation & Interpretation major @ the City University of New York. A professor/mentor of mine had the idea of translating the title story into Spanish. Which made me wonder if there weren't already a Spanish translation of the story/book.

Since _Lost in the Funhouse_ had already been done, the John Barth project ended up as a Virginia Woolf project. I'm pretty confident that the essay «Reviewing» has not already been translated into English. But it originally appeared in _The Captain's Death Bed_ collection, and later in Leonard Woolf's 2 volume _Collected Essays_. Andrew MacNeillie's 4 volume _The Essays of Virginia Woolf_ might also contain this piece. But I'm hoping that none of these collections has yet been rendered in...

My question is, isn't there a Barcelona site that serves an the online equivalent of the English-speaking world's "Books in Print". I seem to remember you can search by ISBN or author name to find all of his/her works in print in Spanish. ▲ Collapse

I don't know if this is the Spanish equivalent of Books in Print, but maybe it will help.

The website Kim gave you belongs to the Ministry of Education and Culture, so if you can get the information necessary to fill up their forms, it will appear there.
Otherwise, there is the Depósito Legal, which registers every publication in Spanish (films and songs included). The problem here is, that registration may be provincial and is left to the discretion of the author. Anything for which authors want to claim copyright will be there. ▲ Collapse
