Jan van Mersbergen’s brilliant Tomorrow Pamplona, which I translated for Peirene Press (2011), has been optioned by First Born Films. I’m over the moon for Jan and I hope that the project goes all the way. Tomorrow Pamplona is a very visual book and it reads like a road movie, so I’m already wondering what the characters might look like on screen…
Here’s a picture of Jan and me at a reading of Tomorrow Pamplona in Copenhagen in June this year, where we were kindly invited by Ark Books, a great little non-profit bookshop that specializes in translations. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Copenhagen.
