[edit]- ... that American poet Peter Filkins was the first to translate Czech writer H. G. Adler's novels, described by The New Yorker as "modernist masterpieces", into English?

The source doesn't explicitly mention that, "Filkins was the first to translate Adler's novels into English" —Vensatry (Ping me) 19:37, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
- I've added a specific reference. In addition to the references on the page, this NYTimes review of Filkins' translation of The Journey says: “The Journey,” which was written in the early 1950s, is the first of his six novels to be translated into English."
