So, we actually made it to our 100th episode! To celebrate, this week Tom and Chad took questions from all our listeners, leading to discussions about how many books we each read (and how many are in translation), what one thing all translators should know, how censorship plays into our publishing decision, and much more. Of course, it ends with raves and rants--including a rant about rants--and is filled with other interesting side tangents.
Here's a list of all the books we talked about on this episode (although maybe not in this order):
- Apocalypse Baby by Virginie Despentes
- Mexico: The Great Theft by Carmen Boullosa
- Case Histories by Kate Atkinson
- Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
- Delirium by Laura Restrepo
- Oryx & Crake by Margaret Atwood
- The End of Days by Jenny Erpenbeck
- The Last Lover by Can Xue
- Faces in the Crowd by Valeria Luiselli
- The Story of My Teeth by Valeria Luiselli
- By Night in Chile by Roberto Bolaño
