Interviews
Being interviewed is a good time.
Bulgarian women who run with the wolves
On translation as immigration, English being my favorite language & inveterate rootlessness for Stiliana Milkova at Reading in Translation.
On combating erasure, fighting for your rights & gossip tenses
An interview by JR Ramakrishnan for Electric Literature.
On translating from a minority language, the dangers of interpreting sexist jokes live & more
Interview by Sarah Timmer Harvey for Asymptote
“What this book does with its fragmented and often poetic and longing manner is to look hard into Bulgaria’s eyes to say: time to own up.”
Project Plume interviewed me about my latest project, the heartbreaking Four Minutes.
If Tarantino and Dostoyevski slammed some vodkas
I was interviewed by the poet Peter Mishler about my novel in translation. His incredibly thoughtful questions and follow ups truly moved me and helped me consider my work anew. The fact the interview was conducted via email meant that I could come off as though I really knew what I was talking about.
Bringing international literature to Chicago
Being part of the Third Coast Translators Collective in Chicago has given me an incredible sense of belonging. I was one of a few members interviewed for this Chicago Tribune piece on the eve of a group reading, which made us quite happy.
