But what happened next is telling about the state of our culture, for the wrong reasons. The explosion in Gorman’s visibility necessitated the need for international translations, as publishers prepared to ship her books to audiences all over the world.

But with Gorman, that process hit a snag.

(Rijneveld uses the pronouns “they” and “them.”) This, despite the fact that Gorman herself had approved the choice of Rijneveld as one of her translators.
