Hello, and welcome to Shining Moon: A Speculative Fiction Podcast, Episode 5. Today we’ll continue our series by asking questions about translation and writing in English as your second language. We’ll find out how difficult it is to write in your second (or third) language, what the advantages of writing in another language are, how you deal with reader expectations, and how to go about getting reputable translations for your work. My guests today are Alex Shvartsman and Anatoly Belilovsky. www.alexshvartsman.com, @AShvartsman on Twitter, @alexshvartsman.bsky.social on Bluesky,  or Alex Shvartsman on FacebookAnatoly Belilovsky can be reached at @loldoc on Twitter/X."Don't tell me that the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass." -- Anton Chekov Piano music for closureThank you for listening to Shining Moon!
