Translations
Over the last few years, I’ve received a lot of interest in my two Claude Cahun translations, which were initially published in the now-defunct but excellent Spolia Magazine. The translations are set to be re-published soon in a larger collection of Cahun’s work. More details to come, thank you for your patience.
Books:
Une vie pour les autres/When the World Calls, written by Blaise Hofmann and illustrated by Elmax, published simultaneously in French and English.
A few graphic novels, two of which are for younger readers:
Derborence by C.F. Ramuz, in a beautiful graphic adaptabtion by Fabian Ménor
The Great Turkey Walk, adapted by Léonie Bischoff, originally by Kathleen Karr
Citizen She! by Caroline Stevan, with fun illustrations by Elina Braslina
In 2022, Bloomsbury published my translation of Corinne Chaponnière’s massive biography of Henry Dunant.
Here are some of the covers of some older projects:
