I am an award-winning literary translator from the French and Spanish. My translation of Karim Miské’s ARAB JAZZ won an English Pen Award, and other translations include include works by the Goncourt-winning French novelist Pierre Lemaitre and non-fiction by the internationally renowned thinker and Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard. I live with my family in South Somerset, where I also teach French, Spanish and Latin at Colyton Grammar School.
