The rich mythology and linguistic skills on display in Yuri
Herrera's Signs Preceding The End Of The World had been thought
by some to make it untranslatable but in this episode we hear
from the author about the mythical basis for this modern tale of
border crossing, from translator Lisa Dillman about meeting the
challenges of bringing the Spanish text to an English readership,
from cultural critic and commentator Maya Jaggi about what makes
the book so special and from publisher Stefan Tobler about why
translating fiction is so important to And Other Stories as they
celebrate their 10th birthday.

Featuring: Yuri Herrera, Stefan Tobler, Lisa Dillman, Maya Jaggi
