It's a collaborative effort between myself and Brazilian author/translator (and friend of mine) Fábio Fernandes. We translated opening excerpts of the stories that appear in the Luso-Brazilian steampunk anthology, Vaporpunk, that was released earlier this year, with hopes that this would lead to an Anglo-American publisher taking a chance and buying English language rights to the anthology.
Hopefully, this will pique the curiosities of a few here. Odd that my first published/commissioned translation is not in Spanish, but my Portuguese was up to the task, I believe. Curious to read more in the future, if these stories were to be translated in full?
Eclectic and striving never to follow paths into ruts, the OF Blog focuses on essays, reviews, interviews, and other odds and ends that might be of interest to fans of both literary and speculative fiction. Now with a cute owl for your enjoyment.
Amazing. Thanks for all your efforts, Larry and Fábio. I hope this also helps to open a way for more steampunk anthos and novels (Vaporpunk #2, anyone? :) ) over here...
ReplyDeleteTake care
Looks magnificent. That is a lot of effort. Congrats on the good job. I am over at the Beyond Victoriana, reading.
ReplyDeleteYes, very curious indeed! :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic. And I know how difficult Portuguese is to learn, as I am currently living in Sao Paulo. Good luck in further translation projects
