Linda Hoaglund<\/strong><\/a> is one of my favorites. She is famous for doing subtitles for Japanese movies (like Kurosawa films) and she is an AMAZING interpreter as well. She has a massive vocabulary and everything she does sounds so natural. Linda doesn’t just do big-name projects — she does a lot of translation & interpreting for the arts\/artists as well. Even though she grew up in Japan (to which some would say, “of COURSE she can read\/write\/speak Japanese”), I still think that her interpreting and translation skills are extremely polished and give the rest of us translators\/ interpreters something to strive for.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess I like Alfred Birnbaum<\/strong><\/a> since he did a slew of Haruki Murakami<\/strong> books that I deveoured back in College.\u00a0 Not much time for fiction these days, however\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
