I gave an interview (conducted on Instagram!!) for a cool newsletter, The Isthmus, “dedicated to world literature and gaining a broader perspective on the literary arts.”

The word “Isthmus” attracted my attention first. I grew up on one, and I feel a strong pull of curiosity when I see the word used out there. It’s an archipelagic word, of a kind that allow us to remap the globe through its waterways. I was very happy to see this newsletter emerge, “dedicated to world literature and gaining a broader perspective on the literary arts.”

Thanks to Christian Smith for asking great questions and allowing me space to gush a bit about some of my favorite translators… Read the full conversation here (and subscribe for more!): https://theisthmus.substack.com/p/interview-olga-zilberbourg
