Translation as a Collaborative Mode: An Interview with Sarah Booker
Sarah Booker
I met Sarah Booker virtually in 2018 when she spoke with a graduate student reading group about translating Cristina Rivera Garza s
The Iliac Crest. During her virtual visit, Booker was gracious enough to talk with us about her translation process, and I have kept an eye on her work ever since. In this interview, conducted over email, Booker tells WWB about what drew her to translation work, her praxis, and her vision for translation in public life.
Alex Aguayo (AA): Good morning, Sarah. To begin, could you tell me a little bit about yourself and how you became interested in literature and translation? What has your training been like?
