In September my interview with Norwegian < English translator, Don Bartlett was published on the ELit Literature House Europe website and the European Literature Network.
I have worked with Don on his translations of Gunnar Staalesen’s crime novels for Orenda Books; and in preparation for the interview, I took my first plunge into Karl Ove Knausgaard’s remarkable work.
The result was a comparison between two contemporary greats of Norwegian literature. The results were fascinating.
