Check out this interview with former ALTA mentee Yuki Tejima as they discuss balancing professional translation projects with a broader love of and excitement for literature. At Hindustan Times: buff.ly/k0kVfZS @hindustan-times.bsky.social @yukitejima.bsky.social

“We fell into a long silence, which I later regretted. The quiet in the air held too much meaning for two strangers making small talk.” Read from Mizuki Tsujimura’s novel Lost Souls Meet Under a Full Moon, translated by @yukitejima.bsky.social.

Thank you for your kind words!

“While many English readers may be quick to assume that Tsujimura’s novels are meant to heal, the word most often used to describe her work in Japan is sasaru. It means stab, sting, turn a knife in my heart.” @yukitejima.bsky.social on translation as an act of sharing.
