We enjoy reading translated books. It’s a big part of our reading lives. We’ve had a strong desire to be in conversation with literary translators on the podcast, and we finally got the chance to do so.
Highlights:
🎙 From wanting to join the foreign service to becoming a literary translator.
🎙 The way translations are pitched and commissioned is quite different than how a conventional author would pitch their work.
🎙 Translators are writers. It’s more than a process.
