The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
This special Sunday visit brings back much-missed former Seattle residents Steve Murray and Tiina Nunnally. Individually, and collectively, they represent much of the major translating of fiction (detective and otherwise) to be brought from Scandinavian languages over the past several years. They published some of these (some excellent English-language originals, too) when operating Fjord Press. A special focus of this program no doubt will be Steve Murray's translations, under a "Reg Keeland" pseudonym, of the hugely popular, hugely-acclaimed three Stieg Larsson novels: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (Vintage, Vintage, and Knopf). Other authors Steve Murray has translated have/will include Camilla Läckberg, Jan Guillou, Henning Mankell, and Karin Alvtegen, among many others. Tiina Nunnally, who has made reading visits to Elliott Bay in the past, has translations by Arne Dahl, Mari Jungstedt, and Arild Stubhaug due out this year. Among her many translations in past years: Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking, Nobel Prize winner Sigrid Undset's Kristin Lavsrandattar, Peter Hoeg's Smilla's Sense of Snow, and various other works by Per Olav Enquist, Hans Christian Anderson, Jens Peter Jacobsen, Henning Mankell, and more. Between them, Steve Murray and Tiina Nunnally have received several awards, shortlist nominations, and citations. This should be fun.
