About this episode
As a special episode of the Three Percent Podcast, Kaija Straumanis (curator of the Latvian Triptych, translator of The River by Laura Vinogradova) discussed language, literature, art, life, and guilt with the two other translators who contributed to the triptych: Ian Gwin, who translated Berlin by Andris Kuprišs, and Uldis Balodis, who did Birthday by Jana Egle.
It’s a fun, illuminating conversation, and one that will hopefully inspire you to read these Latvian books or, you never know, learn some Latvian?
The music on this episode is “Visi gali ūdenī” by Jana Egle.
