What an enlightening interview with Katie Whittemore! It’s inspiring to hear about her journey into literary translation and her passion for contemporary Spanish literature. Her insights into Sara Mesa’s works and the broader trends in Spanish literature, such as neoruralism and eco-fiction, are particularly fascinating. I’m eagerly looking forward to reading her translations, especially “Four by Four” and “Cara de Pan.” It’s also encouraging to see how her personal connections with authors and dedication to promoting women’s voices in literature are shaping her career. Thank you for sharing this, Chad W. Post!

This is a wonderful conversation. The challenge to translators continues to be to do what we do in the face of incredible odds of achieving material or even professional success. As with anything, the key is to read, read, read and to translate works that you know are important. I bring women’s voices from the Hispanic world into English because I believe in them and it helps me inhabit more fully my own fictional universes as a writer. The most important thing of all: believe in yourself.
