       And Other Stories brought out Down the Rabbit Hole by Juan Pablo Villalobos in the UK last year, and now Farrar, Straus and Giroux have picked it up in the US. They now have a Q & A conducted by Iza Wojciechowska at their Work in Progress blog with the translator of the book, Getting it Right: Rosalind Harvey on Translation.
       Love this attitude:
I think we need to translate and publish more of a range of writing: good literature is wonderful, but difficult or avant-garde work is not for everyone and so I'd like to see more Estonian chick lit, Indonesian thrillers or Bolivian erotica. People read that stuff as long as it's good, it doesn't matter where it's from, so bring it on !
