“Every Choice We Make Is Political”: Natasha Lehrer on Translating “Consent” and “I Hate Men”
Natasha Lehrer is a prize-winning literary translator from French to English. She recently translated
Consent, Vanessa Springora’s memoir of her teenage relationship with the writer Gabriel Matzneff, which sent shock waves through France and triggered a rape investigation; and Pauline Harmange’s bestseller
I Hate Men, a book-length essay that found unexpected success after an employee of the French ministry for gender equality attempted to have it banned. In this interview, conducted via email, Lehrer discusses the influence of these books on French society, her “winding” career path, and translation as “a profound and political act of decentering the self.”
