Zygmunt Miloszewski made friends with his translator, Antonia Lloyd-Jones - and it has paid off
The beginning is always innocent. You find out that your book is going to be translated into a foreign language. You start to radiate euphoria. You put down the deposit for a two-seater sports car, invite your friends for dinner, and brag about your international career. You know that there's someone out there who's going to be your translator, but you don't worry about that yet. You're glad you're going to have another fan of your work, who will be down on her knees before you and your talent.
