“The kind of forcing and violence and humor that you have to use to translate rhyming poetry was good preparation for translating Private Life.” -@newm161 #fnltranslation

“It’s very much instinct. I am drawn to something that is innovative in both language and spirit.” - Jill Schoolman, @archipelagobks on how she decides which books to publish. #fnltranslation

“Beware a Schoolman smile…it dissolves all hesitation and doubt!”- @Wortsman on @archipelagobks Jill Schoolman who lured him back to translating. #fnltranslation

Isabel Fargo Cole is a German translator and wrote her book not in English, but in German. “I am living in Germany, my friends were German. Writing it in English was too much like translating…also there are cool things you can do in German that you can’t do in English.”

[Festival Neue Literatur @FestNeueLit]

“I wouldn’t have written that book [Homesick] if I was writing it in English.” - @jenniferlcroft in response to @tesslewis94 question about if writing it in Spanish helped provide some distance from the story. #fnltranslation

[Festival Neue Literatur @FestNeueLit]

Thinking of translation as translating an idea versus translating the words, shifts “the idea of translation from a ‘product’ to a ‘process.’” - @sawakonakayasu #fnltranslation

[Festival Neue Literatur @FestNeueLit]

“I don’t like the idea of what is lost in translation. I prefer what is INCLUDED in translation.” - @kojensen #fnltranslation
