Many thanks to translator Paolo Silvio Poli for making my work accessible in Italian. I don’t think translators get nearly enough credit for the work they do – to take a writer’s work, with its individual style and tone, and put it into an entirely different language while still giving it the same impact, is a huge challenge. I’m always very thankful for my translators’ time, effort and commitment to my work.
Of course I’m happy to talk to press and social media about the book and its approach to the world of manga, and to visit bookshops and sign copies as time permits. If you’re a journalist, bookshop, blogger, vlogger or podcaster, let’s get together. To arrange it, contact the amazing PR team at Octopus by emailing publicity@octopusbooks.co.uk
