Shocked Earth

Shocked Earth, my translation of a novel by the Dutch author Saskia Goldschmidt, was published by Saraband on May 13th, 2021. Shocked Earth is a novel that explores how industry and farming must change before their environmental impact is irreversible.

Saraband featured the novel on its Earth Day Showcase on 22nd April 2021. The author was interviewed in her own home in Amsterdam by the literary critic and journalist Margot Dijkgraaf. It is an excellent introduction both to the novel and its author.

I am delighted to have been chosen as the translator of this beautifully written, dramatic and ultimately hopeful story.
