David Greig Rattray (1946-1993) was a poet and translator and an editor for Reader’s Digest. Fluent in Greek, Latin, French and German, among other languages, he is best known for his translations of work by the 20th-century French writers Antonin Artaud, Rene Crevel and Roger Gilbert-Lecomte.
His book of collected stories and essays, How I Became One of the Invisible (Semiotexte, 1992), which is largely autobiographical, spanned both the scholarly classics and the contemporary avant-garde.
