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."
