Translator of the Month - Riina Hanso
Our Translator of the Month for December is Riina Hanso, who translates into Estonian. She has translated books within various genres: fiction, drama, crime, non-fiction and books for children and young adults, and by doing so has become “acquainted” with authors such as Henrik Ibsen, Roy Jacobsen, Merethe Lindstrøm, Jo Nesbø and Maria Parr. If there is one genre she wants to translate more of, it is definitely children’s books. And maybe poetry, in collaboration with someone.
