About the Translator

His literary translations include nov¬els, short stories, and video games, while his nonfiction portfolio spans fields as diverse as journalism, social geography, early modern witch¬craft, food security, and military history.
He has won two third-place prizes in the John Dryden Translation Competition: in 2015 for his translation of Paul Pen's harrowing short story "The Porcelain Boy," and in 2011 for Francisco Pérez Gandul's slang-driven novel Cell 211. His translation of Paul Pen's novel The Light of the Fireflies has sold more than a hundred thousand copies worldwide.
