New Translation Blog

A great initiative from Booktrust a UK-based "independent national charity that encourages people of all ages and cultures to discover and enjoy reading." They've invited translator Daniel Hahn to blog about his experience as he translates José Eduardo Agualusa's Estação das Chuvas, the fourth novel by the Angolan writer that he has translated.
