Wanted: Translators Seeking Texts
How do literary translators and texts find one another? Is it happenstance or is something more than chance involved? What strategies may be helpful when searching for a text? An experienced group of translators, working in such diverse languages as French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese, as well as in a variety of genres, kick off this roundtable with their own unique stories.
