Testimonials

"I am very, very happy with your translation: you captured the ironic undertone and the serious reflection on the concept of land [in 'A Little Bit of Morrocan Soil']. It is like hearing myself tell the story, but in English."

Fouad Laroui, 2004
Winner, Prix Goncourt for Short Stories, 2013

"Your work [is] sensitive to the spirit of this film. Translating this artsy stuff is difficult ... I like your translation [of the descriptive blurb] very much — simpler English would not do it justice."

Tamara Zakon, Montreal, 2010

"Your translation of my [book chapter] ... reads very well indeed and I really think you did an excellent job.... I am also grateful for the translation notes and your corrections.... The 'extras' give me the feeling that you really have a very comprehensive idea about my text and argument."
