Gonzalez-Arias Publishes Translation
Francisca Gonzalez-Arias has published a translation into English of Soledad Puértolas’s short story “On the Road to Houmt Souk.” The story was just published in Vol. 1 of the Translator’s Corner of the Observatorio de la Lengua Española at Harvard’s Instituto Cervantes.
Francisca tells us:
“The narrator -protagonist of the story (from the collection “Adios a las novias”) is a traveler, a thoughtful and somewhat passive woman whose experience in the desert landscape of the Isle of Djerba sparks inner clarity and affirmation of the self. It is one of 15 short stories by the author that I have translated into English.”
