Novelist, editor, and translator Susan Ouriou has had quite the career. Among her many accomplishments, she's written two novels and been a finalist for the Governor General’s Literary Award for Translation seven times, winning for her translation of Pieces of Me by Charlotte Gingras. She's also served as an interpreter for both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. I had the pleasure of talking to Susan about her path to becoming a translator, her approach to her work, and her recent collaboration with author Quebec author Fanny Britt on Fanny's novel Sugaring Off , out this week from Book * Hug Press.
