Autorenporträt
João Reis born in 1985, is a Portuguese writer and a literary translator of Scandinavian languages (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Icelandic). He studied philosophy and has lived in Portugal, Norway, Sweden, and the UK, having worked in several different occupations, from book publisher to kitchen chef. He has written various short stories published in digital format or zines, and his first major work is his novel The Translator's Bride. Though still an emerging author, Reis's work has already been compared to that of Hamsun and Kafka, and represents a literary style unseen in contemporary Portuguese writing. Sónia Oliveira was born in Luanda, in 1972. She studied Portuguese and English Literature and Translation, at Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCSH), and Portsmouth University. She's worked as a freelance translator, an editorial coordinator for EXPO '98, Lisbon World Expositon, and in a renowned design studio. For the last ten years she has been translating for major Portuguese publishing houses, as well as for a number of film festivals, such as IndieLisboa, Doclisboa, and MOTELx.
