Annual reminder that without literary translators, most Nobel Prize-winning authors couldn’t be read by the committee/readers, so celebrate them too. Congrats @ottiliemulzet.bsky.social et al! This isn’t taking away from the author, it’s adding recognition of the miracle/labour/skill of translation.

Here is an #InternationalTranslationDay #shelfie of most of the 200+ books I've translated (the top 4 shelves), plus some anthologies containing works I've translated, and then some magazines likewise containing works I've translated. 🥰🥰 #booksky #xl8

A photo of three IKEA Billy bookcases crammed with books and magazines. (With a few decorative bits and bobs as well, separating sections.)

The bookcase in the middle are all works I've translated.

The other bookcases are, to the left, books written by me or anthologies edited by me, and to the right, anthologies containing work by me.
