great!!
Wonderful interview, very thanks to provide this interview record for public. I am big fan of Liza Dalby, and very happy to hear her voice and great experiences.
She translated some of my favorite works, i'm waiting for the day when she finally decide to translate run with the wind
what'up, amigoo. that's awesome job.
Wonderful interview
Excellent conversation. Thank you for sharing! I've bought two copies of Staring At the Moon already (gave one to a friend, who immediately loved it)
Actually, the title is "Gazing at the Moon". Not "Staring". :)
@@panzee1484 oh yeah lol. Maybe I'll internalize that after buying a third copy :)
Glad to hear it. Thanks for listening :)
Very insightful
Glad you enjoyed it
I admire Janine with great joy!
My all time favorite translator. The Great Passage was incredible!
Such a treat! Wonderful interview.
