I like languages and books and cities. I enjoy going round secondhand bookshops and then reading my latest purchases in a café or bar, and having interesting conversations with friends, old and new. I like living in different countries, discovering new sights, sounds, tastes and smells.

I read mainly non-fiction - linguistics, philosophy, history, politics - but I always have time for Albert Camus: every time I reread one of his novels, I find something new.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two plays that I translated have been performed in New York.

I can help out with English conversation and usage as I used to be an English teacher.
