Drunken Boat’s “Spaces in Translation” feature is turning out to be a monthly thing. Here’s part of their description: 

An interview series with translators, translated writers, and translation theorists, “Spaces in Translation” interrogates transitional spaces and how we choose, or choose not, to navigate them. 

By probing the ways in which translators traverse hierarchies between languages and cultures this blog feature builds a conversation about minority (mis)representation, the bounds of authority, and creativity’s role in addressing such issues. 

Additionally, it endeavors to provide insight into translators’ working lives—the where, how, and why of their craft—as all too often this aspect is only appreciated when invisible.
