Week 3 of Translations Special

This story was originally written in Hebrew and has been translated into English.

Main Fiction: “Benjamin Schneider’s Little Greys” by Nir Yaniv, translated by Lavie Tidhar

Nir Yaniv is an Israeli science fiction writer, musician and, on special occasions, film director. He’s notorious for his past as the chief editor of two of Israel’s leading science fiction magazines, and also for his present habit of drawing chickens in public.

Lavie Tidhar is the author of the Jerwood Fiction Uncovered Prize winning and Premio Roma nominee A Man Lies Dreaming (2014), the World Fantasy Award winning Osama (2011) and of the critically-acclaimed and Seiun Award nominated The Violent Century (2013). His latest novel is Central Station (2016). He is the author of many other novels, novellas and short stories.

Narrated by: Jonathan Danz

Jonathan Danz exists in a parallel dimension that looks suspiciously like West Virginia. When he’s not trundling over rock and root on his velocipede, he labors to hammer stories out of unruly words. With the help of his wife and daughter, he manages to keep track of his car keys, his priorities, and his mind. Should you find yourself in the dusty corners of cyberspace, you may glimpse Words and Coffee, an occasional repository of his thought-mud found at jonathandanz.com
