It is hard to introduce an interview conducted with a figure we love, let alone a figure we consider an idol.
I don’t know what prompted me to request an interview with Randa Baath. I was fully aware it would be difficult for both of us, due to the special bond I have with her and her family, but I decided to move forward regardless. I decided to put my personal feelings aside and focus on her work in translation and her relationship with Arab culture, knowing that she translated several books from French into a solid Arabic.
