Translating Women

When you meet Bill Stenson’s sharply rendered characters, you will see those people whom you know and maybe even catch a glimpse of yourself in the process. What you won’t expect are the highly unpredictable situations that he creates for them, and the diagonal humour Stenson employs to herald his approach to fiction. Maybe you will discover what it is like to be an out-of-control pacifist or determine the psychological value of a good pair of shoes.
