Episode 18: Jennifer Shyue & Cuban Fiction in Translation

Lu Mila and Michelle Marquez read two works of short fiction by Cuban authors Anna Lidia Vega Serova and Jorge Enrique Lage, both translated by Jennifer Shyue. Podcast host Madison Middleton interviews Shyue, who talks about how she fell in love with translation and details some of the pleasures and perils of this exacting and creative work. Both works of fiction were originally published in NER 42.1, in spring 2021, as part of the "Cuban Literature Today" feature.
