The Magic Alphabet

This week, three links for you:  The indefatigable Larissa Kyzer, who translates from Icelandic, is the founder and co-organizer of Jill! which just finished a series of translated children’s books readings, some charmingly produced with visuals. Jill! features women translators working from a multitude of languages.

    Beautiful, beautiful story. I hope this makes it into a larger anthology so even more people can read it.

    I need a “love” button here, not merely a “like.” The story, yes, but also to hear you read, Pat, and to contemplate your craft of safely shepherding a story like this to a wider audience. Wonderful, thank you.

      Andrea thanks so much. You hit on one of the things I love about literary translation, it provides an important service, to the writer and to the reader unable to access another language.
