I have really negleted this section, when so many things have passed! Just the month on May was extremely eventful. On the 31st, Xavi Ay\u00e9n<\/a> interviewed Valentina Alferj, Andrea Camilleri<\/a>‘s right-hand woman, for La Vanguardia<\/a><\/em>. He also spoke to Pau Vidal<\/a> and to me as representatives of his many translators. The interview, which you can read here<\/a>, came with this wonderful recreation of inspector Montalbano by Marc Pallar\u00e8s<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"Montalbano<\/p>\n

A few days before that, on the 27th, I spoke with Vasos Comunicantes<\/a><\/em>, the magazine published by ACE Traductores<\/a>. They have started a series of talks with translators called \u2018Del amigo, el consejo<\/a>\u2019 and I spoke about books on translation, dictionaries, favourite translations and bizarre searches. And Camilleri came up again. You can read the interview here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, on the 21st something very exciting happened. We launched Gianni Rodari’s El libro de los errores<\/em><\/a>, which I translated a few months ago and Juventud<\/a> has just published with illustrations by Chiara Armellini<\/a> and design and layout by Mercedes Romero. They put together a big virtual event: Jos\u00e9 Luis Polanco, Piu Mart\u00ednez<\/span><\/a>, \u00c9lodie Bourgeois and I chatted about Rodari for a long time, moderated by Germ\u00e1n Machado<\/a>. Over five hundred people at a book launch! Unheard of!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Presentaci\u00f3n<\/p>\n

This new book, which comes out when we celebrate the centenary of the birth of Gianni Rodari<\/a>, also allowed me to dust off my previous translations of his work for Kalandraka<\/a> and Blackie Books<\/a> and to once again remember how wonderful the author is and how much I have learned from him:<\/p>\n
