Welcome back to The Community Library! This week I chat to translator and Doctor of Philosophy, my mother: Dr Kate Rice! We talk all things language and translation: my mum’s interest in languages, how she started working in translation, and why translated fiction is sometimes frustrating to read. I hope you enjoy!
The discussion pick for this month is One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez. My dear friend and former guest on the podcast Kaliya and I will be discussing it on the 24th of May.
