Lailah english version in Amazon Books
Reaching the World!
I WANT TO SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU MY TRANSLATOR´S WONDERFUL WORDS.
From the Translator
When I was approached to translate Hilton Kuscka’s Rick Hammad series, I was honored and intrigued, since Mr. Kutscka writes in a relatively new genre called the parallel universe. This idea of mixing fact with fiction and making our reality flexible, bendable, and so plastic-like it reminded me of the talents of surrealist Salvador Dali.
I knew right away this series would be a translator’s dream challenge, and so I accepted it. I have no regrets, only gratitude for being offered the opportunity to translate a wonderful Brazilian author with a mind that can only be called unique.
From this first novel Lailah: God’s Divorce from Her to Lives: Mortal Fun to God Throws Dice I have not been disappointed in Mr. Kutscka’s talent to marvel and to hold the reader captive to the page. This is a tall order for a translator to follow. I have done my best to meet this challenge in all nuance and linguistic brick walls. Mr. Kutscka is on his fourth novel in the series right now. I cannot wait for him to finish it.
