By Way of Dreams: Annie McDermott on Translating Mario Levrero - Asymptote Blog
One of Levrero’s first publishers described him as a realist writer who lives on another planet.
Had a fascinating conversation with Annie McDermott on translating Uruguayan writer Mario Levrero—on dreams, reality, violence, imagination, translating punctuation and more.
Always grateful when translators share the details of their process!
