italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studiesI sincerely hope someone will be asking her why she continues to work for Europa, which routinely pays translators poorly and insists (contractually) upon taking translators’ copyrights, as well as why she repeatedly asserts, in interviews and articles, that she “just doesn’t know much about translators’ rights issues.” It’s her job to know – especially know that she has apparently become the single existing IT>EN translator in the United States and has a platform that almost no one else can dream of. She has the opportunity to do enormous good, both for translators and for IT>EN literary translation, but refuses to enter into these questions.
