<p>This month, Rachel has a special guest on the podcast! <a href="https://www.translatorscafe.com/cafe/member207910.htm">Julia Meitov Hersey</a> (@JuliaMeiHersey), who translated the psychological-fantasy-thriller <a href="https://www.harpercollins.com/9780062694591/vita-nostra/"><em>Vita</em> <em>Nostra</em></a> from the Russian, comes on to talk about how she first started translating the complex, lyrical work of Marina and Sergey Dyachenko (@DyachenkoW); what makes translating speculative fiction unique; and her own future projects. Insightful and entertaining, this interview will send you straight to your local independent bookstore to buy <em>Vita Nostra. </em>You&#8217;re welcome!</p> <p>Remember: with new stories and books coming to their attention each week, make sure to check the SFT website for updates.
