As part of this month's ongoing series of posts about literature from Spain, I talked to author, translator, and publisher Jonathan Dunne, whose Small Stations Press has produced more translations of Galician literature into English than anyone else. On this bonus episode of the Three Percent Podcast, we talk about how to pronounce "Galician," how he got into translating and publishing these works, the challenges of running a small press, the importance of voice and flow over individual words, why translating poetry is easier than translating long novels, and much more.
Jonathan also recommends a number of Galician authors and books, all of which can be found on the Small Stations website.
This week's music is "Here to Fall" by Yo La Tengo.
You can also follow Open Letter and Chad on Twitter and Instagram (OL, Chad) for book and baseball talk.
