Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Izidora Angel on 'She Who Remains' (Nominated for the International Booker Prize - 2026)
Q: As regards the translation challenges, how did you navigate the lack of standard punctuation and the shifting perspectives between Bekia and the brother's letters?
She describes the two contrasting narrative modes—free-flowing, punctuation-light prose for Bekia's voice and the capitalized, formal letters from the brother—as deliberate pauses that guide the reader and reveal unreliable narration while preserving momentum.
Izidora Angel on 'She Who Remains' (Nominated for the International Booker Prize - 2026)
Q: So what first drew you to Renée Karabash's novel? Also, having translated other authors like Natalia Deleva, how did the translation process and writing style for this project differ from your previous work?
Izidora explains that the book's innovation and ahead-of-its-time quality required multiple passes to understand where she could take the translation, balancing linguistic work with a larger objective of conveying the novel's psychological depth and narrative energy.
Lin King on 'Taiwan Travelogue' (Nominated for the International Booker Prize-2026)
Q: Why did you choose to render the three languages in their original forms rather than imposing Mandarin as a default?
To honor the authentic linguistic layers of Taiwan's history and to avoid erasing the real linguistic diversity of places and people, even when that complicates English readers' navigation.
Lin King on 'Taiwan Travelogue' (Nominated for the International Booker Prize-2026)
Q: Could you summarize what makes Taiwan Travelogue unique as a translation project?
It is a multilingual, meta-textual work that uses forewords, afternotes, and translator notes to blur the lines between fiction, history, and translation, highlighting how language choices shape cultural memory and political histories.
Padma Viswanathan on 'On Earth As it is Beneath'(Nominated for the International Booker Prize-2026)
Q: Can you share details about your Living Tamil Lit Fest involvement and how translation figures into that?
The Living Tamil Lit Fest in New York is a gathering to celebrate Tamil literature and translation, with translators and writers participating to bridge languages and cultures. My involvement, alongside other Tamil-language writers and translators, underscores my commitment to expanding access to South Asian literatures through translation.
