The guest for this Episode is Peter Bush. Born in Lincolnshire, UK, He has translated works from Catalan, French, Spanish and Portuguese to English. He spoke about his Translations in Catalan, Prominent authors in Catalan, Translation as an academic Discipline, and his Experience at the British Center for Literary Translation (BCLT).Bush has been active not only as a translator but also in developing literary translation as an academic discipline by working in the academic world, serving in key literary translation organisations, serving on the editorial boards of literary translation publications, and organising international events and projects.He was Director of the British Centre for Literary Translation (BCLT) at the University of East Anglia and Professor of Literary Translation at the School of English and American Studies. Bush has held key positions in important literary translation organisations: Literary Translation Committee, International Translators Federation  American Literary Translators Association and Committee for Literary Translation in Higher Education. Harshaneeyam: Your first book-length translation was in 1986. So tell us about what prompted you to get into translation. Peter Bush: I was working in a school in London called Holland Park School, which was a very multilingual school, and I had an advanced class of Spanish, and we'd been reading a book called Campos de Níjar by Juan Goytisolo, and my class comprised students whose grandparents came from Spain or North Africa, and I thought it would interest them because it was written in 1959, and about the poverty their grandparents had been trying to escape from, as well as the Franco dictatorship. They weren't interested! They didn't really respond to the text. So I thought it would be a good idea to do a critical edition with an introduction. And I contacted Juan Goytisolo and he agreed that I could do it. I did it. He liked it. When his autobiography was published in Spain I read it and liked it and thought translating might be a new challenge for me. The suggestion actually came from a fellow teacher, John Lyons, who translates, also from Spanish, but mainly poetry. He's the translator of Ernesto Cardenal.I started to extend the idea to publishers. Goytisolo told his agent that he wanted me to translate it. And eventually I got a phone call from a publisher, Stephen Pickles at Quartet Books, asking me whether I wanted to translate it. And I said yes. And he asked me to do a 50-page sample because I hadn't published any literary translations. So I did the 50-page sample. And I waited and waited, but didn't get any kind of reply, I thought he must have put it in the rubbish bin. I phoned him one day and said, what about it? He said, oh no, the translation’s fine, we'll be sending you a contract. So that's how it started. Although I signed the contract with Quartet Books, the volume was initially contracted by North Point Press in San Francisco. They did the editing, so my first experience of literary translation was being edited by North American editors. That gave it another interesting twist. This was the initial prompt to get into translation. But if I go back to my childhood, there are various experiences that might have set me up to become a translator. I was born into a rural working-class family, my mother and father spoke non-standard English, which is what I spoke. My first mother tongue, if you like, was non-standard English. And when I went to primary school, I was surprised when my teacher said: ‘You don't speak proper English.’ And then I got a scholarship to go to grammar school, I was the first one in the family to go to grammar school. And the situation was worse there really, because obviously I was surrounded by children who didn't have non-standard English, they spoke, they'd only ever spoken standard English.Harshaneeyam: How did you get into French and Portuguese translation? Peter Bush: One of the things that happened at school is that I had all these issues over English, non-standard and standard, and I had a complex about it… what I got into was Latin, which we started learning in the first year, and I was really good at Latin. And in the school, if you were in the ‘A’ form, that was the top. If you were in the C form, that was the bottom. I was in B and was booted up to A because I was good at Latin and there I enjoyed French. And then I was given the opportunity of doing Spanish or physics and chemistry. I'm not sure why, but I didn't like physics and chemistry, so I thought, I'm good at French and Latin, I'll do Spanish. I had excellent teachers, which meant within the English system that by the age of 16 I was reading French and Spanish literature in the original, say a Balzac novel or Lorca’s poetry. Portuguese was different. When I was at Oxford university in the late 60s, I became involved in a radical socialist group. We had a newspaper, and I worked as a journ

In this episode, Senior translator Alex Zucker spoke about his work, Translation contracts and the Czech Author Jachym Topol.Alex Zucker has translated novels by the Czech authors Magdaléna Platzová, Jáchym Topol, Bianca Bellová, Petra Hůlová, J. R. Pick, Tomáš Zmeškal, Josef Jedlička, Heda Margolius Kovály, Patrik Ouředník, and Miloslava Holubová. He has also Englished stories, plays, subtitles, young adult and children’s books, song lyrics, reportages, essays, poems, philosophy, art history, and an opera. Apart from translating, he organises, on a volunteer basis, with the National Writers Union and the New York City chapter of SURJ (Showing Up for Racial Justice). Conversation: Harshaneeyam: Welcome, Alex, to Harshaneeyam.Alex Zucker: Hi, Anil. I am so glad to be here. Thank you for having me. Harshaneeyam: Before we move on to your literary journey, translations and all, I follow you on Twitter, and I see that you are very vocal about the current situation in Gaza. I also read that you worked for a human rights organisation earlier.Alex Zucker: Yes, of course. For about five years, I was the communications officer for a genocide prevention organisation called the Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation, AIPR. Now, as a communications officer, I was always a little bit disturbed at our name, because actually we had nothing to do with peace and reconciliation. We were working in genocide prevention. But they’ve since changed their name, by the way. But [that was] after I left. This was a small organisation, about five staff people based in New York City, doing education and training for mid-level government officers in genocide prevention. The idea of the organisation was that, all too often in history, there are government leaders whose countries are engaging in atrocities that are not quite maybe yet at genocide, or [actually] genocide, and of course there can be resistance from outside the government, [but] unless the government decides to stop it, it’s not going to stop. So the idea of [AIPR] was if they could get to these mid-level government officials, those people would rise up [through the ranks] and become the leaders of their country, and they would be people committed to preventing genocide. I want to say also that by prevention, what we meant was not military intervention. That’s stopping, maybe, a genocide in progress, but preventing meaning that it never happens in the first place. Also, keeping in mind that genocide, as people have been pointing out in relation to the situation in Gaza, but as in any genocide, it doesn’t necessarily involve killing, right? It can be preventing births within a group, any kind of creation of conditions that make it impossible for a group to survive. The key is that the intention is to destroy the group as such. So it has to be focused on a group of people, not just individuals. Having worked in that organisation for five years, I read a lot about genocide historically. I also was following very closely many genocides that were happening in the world at that time. For instance, in Myanmar, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is happening again now, in Sudan, that was happening the first time back then. I think the reason that I feel compelled to speak up about Gaza is because the genocide is being perpetrated by a state, Israel, that gets a huge amount of support from the government that I pay taxes to. To me, that’s a very straightforward moral and ethical equation. 95 per cent of the aid that the U.S. sends to Israel is military, right? Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, now the second time, two years ago, and probably committing genocide there as well, but none of my money goes to Russia, so I don’t feel responsible [for that]. I mean, it’s not that I don’t care about what’s happening to Ukrainians, but as a human being, if I’m looking at what I’m responsible for, what my money goes to is a very elementary piece in that. I know that some people don’t like to think that way, and they like to think in a more abstract sense of morals and ethics; everybody has a right to decide how they want to act themselves. But this is what makes sense to me. Besides tweeting, though, I should say that I am engaged also in other ways. I’ve taken part now, several times, in civil disobedience, both in Washington, DC, and here in New York, as well as uplifting, on Twitter, more disruptive direct actions that are either too far away for me to take part in or that I myself don’t feel physically capable of. I’ve also been calling, and will continue to call, as I have for months now, my representatives in Congress, to demand that they support a permanent ceasefire and stop sending military aid to Israel, and will continue to donate both to individual Palestinians, who are trying to get out of Gaza, and to organizations that are supporting the Palestinians in Gaza who either can’t get out, or for various reasons don’t want to. So I’m engaging in what organizers

It's a pleasure to be here. H: How did you develop an interest in literature? A: I was born and raised in a small town, Trichy, in Tamil Nadu. From childhood, I started reading pretty early. With all the supplements, usually, the newspaper supplements that come, these are Siruvar Malar, Siruvar Mani, the kid supplementary books I started reading, and mostly newspapers. That's how my literary journey started. I was not a very avid reader initially. I only engaged with news and media in general, but I followed the traditional route of higher education and went on to do engineering. I'm a mechanical engineer with a bachelor's degree and went on to do a postgrad diploma in liberal arts at Ashoka University as a young India fellow. This was partly due to some elective courses I took during my final semester, and I needed to explore more humanities. It gave me a lot of exposure, and two courses stood out.I took one critical writing course, and I began to write. I became a very effective communicator both in writing and in oral communication. Then, I took another course, Culture and Communication, which was a sociology course. This course gave me a lens on caste, religion, sexuality, and gender. These two courses moulded me into a very different person from who I was initially. Then, I went on to work with ‘The Print’. YIF also gave me a thirst for reading, and I've just started reading a lot of nonfiction. That was a phase when I was reading a lot of nonfiction coming out of Ashoka, more public policy, economics, or history-related nonfiction. I used to go to Delhi Tamil Sangam's library and pick some of these Tamil books there. I initially started with Prabhanjan's short stories, a collection of short stories by the Tamil writer Prabhanjan. I've explored many authors, many genres within Tamil, and contemporary Tamil writing.And yeah, I've read Jeyamohan. He's a great writer. I love his work. Nooru Naarkaaligal is one of my favourite works from Aram. I've heard so much of S Ra. S Ramakrishnan is another Tamil writer and Sahitya Akademi Award winner. In those days, his videos were podcasts. So, the YouTube videos were an hour or two long. He introduced, at least to this generation, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Pushkin. So, a huge introduction to Russian literature came through S. Ramakrishnan. And that's when I remember I started reading much more fiction. Again, short stories were my favourite format. It's also easy to finish short stories and move on to another story, But translated fiction was very recent. I've started reading much more translated literature in the last two or three years. So, I started with some literature from neighbouring states, especially Kerala. I read some of the Malayalam works in Tamil first, and then I started reading in English. I started reading Mukundan's, N S Madhavan's, and M T. Vasudevan Nair's works. I started reading a lot of Korean literature in translation. I've read most of Anton Hur's work. I started with Love in the Big City, Sang Yang Park's Love in the Big City, and Bora Chung's Cursed Bunny. Then there is this beautiful chapbook series called Iyagi from Stranger Press, where they published eight Korean authors from eight Korean translators.And one of my favourite formats is chapbooks and Korean short stories. Then I've been reading some East Asian literature, Yu Miri's Tokyo Ueno Station. I'm reading Confession, Martin Cohen's Confession, Danny, and Daniel Hans. So yeah, this has been my reading journey so far. I'm trying to be as wide as possible. I don't; I've not narrowed my reading down to a particular genre. I've also read part of my current program. I've read children's, young adult, middle-grade, romance, and thrillers. As a publisher or aspiring publisher, I want to experience all kinds of formats and genres.So that's where I'm at in terms of reading. H: Your father is a very reputed translator of English and Tamil.

So nice of you to agree and come over to our podcast. Thank you very much.Naveen Kishore: Thank you for having me.H: You were interested in theatre initially during your school days and college days. How did it lead to publishing?N: The theatre actually happened at school, everybody does theatre in school, so that was okay, but then I think it was in college that I really tasted blood, as it were, as far as theatre is concerned. But I remember there was a theatre group called the Red Curtain, which was essentially made up of young people from different colleges who had left school, started a theatre group as the school leavers. They started to do amateur theatre, but with great quality, aesthetic, style, production values. When I joined them, I was a backstage person. My first theatre experience was a play called Wait Until Dark, where I used to sit behind a refrigerator with a small cassette recorder. And every time the blind leading lady opened the fridge, I would have to put on the duct to create the sound of the machine and synchronize it with her shutting it. And at one point in this thriller, which was also a good film, this blind woman is trying to smash all the bulbs because she is going to be attacked by these two people. And I have to synchronize the swinging of her sort of stick to the bulbs and simulate a crash in a waste-paper basket with old bulbs and metal brass. This was my first beginning.H: Sounds too complicated.N: It was good fun. You were assisting backstage and then, immediately, you were plunged into the deep end. The next play was Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard. The Red Curtain was a very democratic set up, so they said: You design the sets and light. I knew nothing about it, but the British Council Library was very useful, so I used to go and study lighting-design books. But at that point, I was playing by the rules, where I was lighting your face as an actor at 45 degrees. But I was frustrated because I couldn’t achieve darkness, so that was a disaster.I made a mess of it, I think. But for the next play I designed, Ibsen’s Ghosts, I think I threw the rule book out of the window and I started to light the air around the actors. In real life, you’re not lit well. You could go in and out of shadows.So I became a lighting design person and what often happens in India is that sometimes life turns your hobbies into a livelihood. My father lost a job very early in life. I had to start to be the support and I turned to lighting design and discovered people were willing to pay me, but there was never enough money in theatre. So I started to become what you and I now call event managers. I presented everybody from Yamini Krishnamurthy to Birju Maharaj to Begum Akhtar, jazz festivals, theatre, dance. All of this fed into the theatre, and over a 10–12 year period, there came a moment when we felt the need to document things.The word document came into my sort of lexicon, as it were, and I turned to a very dear, much older, wiser, scholarly being, Samik Banerjee, who was then an editor at Oxford University Press. And he used to edit and publish for them, people like Girish Karnad and Badal Sircar and the early plays. They had a series called New Drama in India. I was airing my frustration about how the ephemeral nature of a certain kind of theatre activity would disappear because there was no way of freezing it, and I didn’t have the words, so Samik said: Publishing.If a publisher is devoted to the theatre, the arts, the media, the visual, the cinema, and not worried about feeding 400 mouths like Oxford is, where you cannot survive off the slow-selling niche publishi
