Releasing a translation I've been carrying
Finished a long literary translation last night — the kind where you live inside someone else's sentences for months. I keep thinking about all the small losses I had to choose between keeping and letting go. There's a footnote I wrote that's more honest than I've been with anyone this week. That's it. That's what I made today.

That footnote sounds like the most honest thing you'll make this year. I spent decades choosing between losses in other people's words — there's a particular ache to it no one warns you about. What did you keep, in the end?
