When I visited Wesleyan in May for my reunion, I went to Olin because Olin is a gorgeous college library where I spent many hours possibly studying but definitely reveling in the joy of college life.
But secretly I was hoping to find a copy of my translation, This Darkness Will Never End.
Which is to say, on the shelf, because I had made a purchase request and Olin kindly consented.
Instead, since I am an alumna and occasional writing instructor, it was out for display.
Complete joy!
In the spot where I first dreamed of translating an Italian book, there I was, with an Italian book I had translated.
Don't count the years. I'm so thrilled to have this book out in the world that I didn't dwell on how long it took me.
I only dwelled on how good it felt to see the book on the display and know how hard I worked so that it could be there.
Thank you, Edith Bruck and Paul Dry!
