Ismail Kadare was an incredibly important figure in modern Albanian literature whose work has been translated into 45 languages. To mark two years since his passing, this blog post digs into Kadare’s life, his role in Albanian literature, and his works in translation through an interview between Nevila Pahumi, the Reference Specialist for Albania, Cyprus, and Greece, and translator John Hodgson. This is another entry into the International Collections’ Conveyances blog series.
