I’ve talked about my work with fiction and non-fiction books in past episodes, and even mentioned how I had to turn to audiobooks as a reader, because I was only able to read and reread the books I was actually translating. Today, I wanted to go a little deeper into my collaboration with book authors because it’s a mesmerizing process.
I'm highlighting two books I translated into English:

"Totonya," written by Angolan author Rosária da Silva in Portuguese and Bantu languages

Check out the introduction video (https://bit.ly/totonya) I put together as we look for a publisher for the English translation

"The King's Wife," (http://bit.ly/TheKingsWife) written by Brazilian author Miriam Okuno in Portuguese as "A esposa do Rei" (https://bit.ly/EsposaRei)

Check out my conversation (http://bit.ly/miriam-okuno) with the author as we reminisce about our collaboration
