We are readers. Our early reading experiences included Slavic fairy tales translated into English (oh, Baba Yaga kept us up for a few nights) alongside Panchatantra stories from India, also in English.
As our reading tastes matured, we were introduced to authors like Victor Hugo, Pablo Neruda, Aleksandr Pushkin, Michael Ende, Kyung-sook Shin, Andrzej Sapkowski, Federico García Lorca, and Ryū Murakami. We may have never enjoyed the work of these authors, but for the power of translation. Many discuss the concept of being lost in translation, but we have found ourselves enriched by translation time and time again.
We are grateful to all our advisors for their storytelling passion and advice.
