Jeffrey_Zuckerman

Jeffrey Zuckerman is a translator of French literature. His work centers on contemporary fiction from mainland France and Mauritius—including Ananda Devi, Shenaz Patel, and Carl de Souza—as well as texts of the queer canon—including Jean Genet and Hervé Guibert. Zuckerman lives in New York City.
In a 2016 interview, he described the role his translation of Ananda Devi's Eve Out of Her Ruins had on his career as a translator: "I translated the first few pages practically as I read them, and then emailed Ananda Devi out of nowhere, asking if there was any chance she might consider letting me translate this book into English. She said yes, and, well, the rest is history." The translation won a CLMP Firecracker Award for Fiction.
