Translating the Works of Robert Musil with Genese Grill
Description
This time around on the Meet the Translator podcast, I'm joined by Genese Grill, a writer, scholar, artist, and translator. In this episode, I ask Genese about her translations of Robert Musil's literature.
We find out how Genese has gotten to know the author so well and how she approaches her translations and brings the differences to life. Genese also shares her plans for the future and offers advice to current and aspiring literary translators.
If you want to know more about Genese or get in touch, follow her on X (formally known as Twitter) or check out her website here.
