Jamie Richards received her doctorate in Comparative Literature from Oregon in 2014, writing a dissertation titled La vita agradolce­—a study that makes the case for the centrality of translation as not merely the link between Italian and world literature but also the defining literary practice of post-war Italy. The recipient of a 2021 NEA fellowship in literary translation, Richards lives and works in Milan as an independent translator. She has translated numerous books and comics, including Igort’s The Ukrainian and Russian Notebooks: Life and Death Under Soviet Rule.
