In today's episode Jan V. talks to well-known American literary translator Alex Zucker. Zucker’s translations include novels by some of the best contemporary Czech authors including Bianca Bellová, Petra Hůlová and Jáchym Topol. He has also worked closely on titles with CU’s Karolinum Press, taking part last autumn in a debate titled labours of literary translation. We delve into a bit of that as well but begin with Alex Zucker’s original aim to be a marine biologist before everything changed, he visited Czechoslovakia, and, in 1989, the Iron Curtain fell.
