My Translations from the First Half of 2020
A very complicated semester for the publishing world just ended. There was no Sant Jordi and no Barcelona Comic Fair, and new books published in February and March suffered particularly, since almost nobody was in time to buy them. All in all, I have published six translations: a graphic novel by Giorgia Marras on Empress Elisabeth of Austria for Sapristi and another one by Alessio Surian, Diego di Masi and Silvio Boselli on Maria Montessori for DeBolsillo; two novels, one by Andrea Camilleri for Salamandra and another one by Àngel Casas for Catedral, and above all two of the most difficult books I have ever translated, the essays in The Source of Self-Regard by Toni Morrison for Lumen and Il libro degli errori by Gianni Rodari for Juventud, which features wonderful illustrations by Chiara Armellini and comes out when we celebrate that the author was born a hundred years ago. Let the second half of the year begin!
