The Case of RL Stine's Give Yourself Goosebumps Gamebooks Via
Gender Indeterminacy in Translation: the Case of R. L. Stine’s Give Yourself Goosebumps Gamebooks via Portuguese Translation* Ana Brígida Paiva (CETAPS) 1. Gamebooks, Second-Person Narratives and Resulting Translation Problems Gamebooks are not read as traditional novels, i.e. from start to finish – indeed, the reader starts off in the first pages but is quickly presented with a narrative choice in the form of a footnote. Depending on the choice made, the reader is then taken to a different page of the book and its respective outcome. Footnote instructions (along the lines of “If you choose the door on the left, turn to page x. If you choose the door on the right, turn to page y”) move the narrative forward and lead to different possible endings. A definition of gamebook that is both concise and encompassing is the one offered by Demian Katz, administrator of the international gamebook online database game- books.org: a gamebook is “any book in which the reader participates in the story by making choices which affect the course of the narrative”. * This article was originally presented at Version, Subversion: Translation, the Canon and its Discontents – an international conference on literary translation held in Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto in 2013. REAP / JAPS 27 (“FAQ’s” 1) According to Katz, there are three types of gamebooks: the role-playing game solitaire adventure, the rulebook guided solitaire adventure, and the branching plot novel. This article’s primary focus will be on the latter: a type of book that requires the reader to make narrative-bound choices but that is, otherwise, much like a regular novel in both appearance and structure.
