Literary Translations

As a translator of Italian literature since 2001, I have published novels, short stories, and collections of essays for numerous American and British book publishers and magazines. My translations have been nominated for and won important prizes and have been reviewed in major newspapers and periodicals. 

I studied Italian at Middlebury College, the University of California at Berkeley, the Università di Firenze, and Columbia University, but truly learned the language by living in Italy. I have spoken about translation at professional conferences and am involved with the American Literary Translators Association and PEN American Center. In 2018 I taught a graduate-level translation theory and practice class at Middlebury Summer Language Programs, and in 2019 I attended Breadloaf Translation Workshop in Vermont.
