English term or phrase: Translating Calvino?

This essay is entitled this way, by using a simple question. I believe a literal translation to be unidiomatic in Italian. 'Tradurre Calvino?' would sound strange in Italian. Maybe 'Come tradurre Calvino' or even 'Per tradurre Calvino' would read better. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

But I don't think "Tradurre Calvino?" is so bad.

translating calvino? sulla traduzione di Calvino

Explanation:
Dipende dal tema del saggio: se è un'analisi delle varie traduzioni di Calvino, allora va bene "tradurre Calvino", "come tradurre Calvino", "sulla traduzione di Calvino". Se invece il saggio mette in dubbio la traducibilità dell'opera dell'autore, metterei qualcosa come "si può tradurre Calvino?", lasciando il punto interrogativo.
