Host Joe Williams speaks with Slovak author and translator Ivana Dobrakovová about living in Italy as a Slovak expat, the translation process as an author and as a translator, and her working relationship with Elena Ferrante, whose novels she translates into Slovak. We also hear a bilingual excerpt from Ivana's EUPL-awarded collection of stories, Mothers and Truckers, due out in English translation by Julia and Peter Sherwood later this year from Jantar Publishing.
