- Divinas traducciones
Desde hace un tiempo nuestra lengua está recuperando su aliento. Al menos en el terreno de los libros, se pueden leer, con mayor frescura y cercanía, algunos clásicos que reaparecen alegremente en traducciones locales.

- Life as a Literary Translator
I have built a reasonable career over the last ten years. At this point, authors, editors and agents find me through word of mouth. But not every project comes to fruition. Sometimes, there isn’t the budget to hire me. Other times, I might prepare a sample translation but never find a publisher. Occasionally, personality conflicts arise and I will decide not to pursue a particular relationship. Even when a project does come to fruition, there is almost always a lull between it and the next one.
