‘I convince myself I am resilient. I am consuming the trauma just like you, through my screen. But as a journalist and editor, I convince myself that I am a tool, not a person. I'm here to tell stories, not live them. But they live inside my body. Every testimony I publish, every story I edit and re-edit. ‘ https://lnkd.in/gwTgi4M4

Crime series interview - Translator Jamie Bulloch speaks to Sarah Hemens about the Black Forest Investigations series by Oliver Bottini and the joy of translating a good crime novel. About the book: “There are, of course, other fictionalised detectives who are women, and others who battle alcoholism, as Louise does. One of the things that sets this series apart, though, is the Black Forest setting, close to the French border. In turn, this reflects Louise’s own Franco-German heritage. As the series progresses, her German mother and French father, who are separated, each move to the other’s country. The Black Forest setting is one that I have passed through on several occasions, and Bottini has definitely evoked it brilliantly. It all rings so true. Louise is a maverick, relying on her intuition. This thinking outside the box is what gets her ahead in investigative work. It can also mean that she rubs up against more conventionally minded senior colleagues. She’s frustrated by what she sees as secrecy in the upper echelons of the force—a secrecy that, to her mind, borders on corruption. This interplay between the police service and the domestic and international security services provides another interesting aspect to the books. She sees their work as frustrating and thwarting the rule of law.” https://lnkd.in/dHyVpXC4 #BlackForestInvestigations #OliverBottini #CrimeFiction #JamieBulloch #TranslatorLife #CrimeNovelSeries #BookTranslation #CrimeThriller #GermanCrimeFiction #LiteraryTranslation #Freiburg #BookLovers #ThrillerSeries #MysteryBooks #CrimeWriters #InternationalCrime #BottiniSeries #BlackForestCrime #Bookstagram #ReadingCrimeFiction #TranslatedLiterature #FictionInTranslation #ThrillingReads #LiteraryProse #DetectiveStories #BookCommunity #GoodReads #CrimeNovels
