Excited to welcome into the world this vivid re-imagining of the fiery relationship between two great icons, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Loved working with Claire Berest's rich and poetic words which, to my mind, capture the complexity and emotion of this fraught relationship. A privilege to translate this award-winning book.

II'm excited to see my translation of Antoine Wauters' The Museum of Contradictions - twelve razor-sharp short stories - published by Selkies House. Much of my translation was completed at a wonderful residency in Belgium at the Château de Seneffe, generously offered by Passaporta and for which I am very grateful, in no small part due to the inspiring encounters with fellow translators from all over the world. This book won the prestigious Prix Goncourt de la Nouvelle in 2022
