Translator Interview: Tiffany Tsao

During Women in Translation Month, we want to highlight some of the excellent and often unsung work done by literary translators around the world to bring international stories to the US and other primarily English-speaking countries. This week, we spoke to translator and author Tiffany Tsao. Her translations from Indonesian to English include Norman Erikson Pasaribu’s poetry collection Sergius Seeks Bacchus, for which she won the English PEN Presents and English PEN Translates awards. Tiffany Taso’s novel, The Majesties, came out in the U.S. earlier this year, and she is also the author of the Oddfits fantasy series.
