My name is Adrian Nathan West. If you write to me, you can call me Nate. My book The Aesthetics of Degradation was published in 2016. My next book, Philosophy of a Visit, is set to be published in 2021, and my novel My Father’s Diet will appear with And Other Stories in 2022. I am a frequent contributor to the Times Literary Supplement, the Washington Examiner, and the Literary Review, mainly reviewing fiction in translation; my work has also appeared in The New York Review of Books, McSweeney’s, The London Review of Books, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, and many other journals in print and online. I have translated books from German, Catalan, Spanish, and French, as well as short pieces from Galician and Italian, by authors such as Josef Winkler, Pere Gimferrer, and Marianne Fritz. I also edit fiction in translation reviews for Review 31 and am a contributing editor at the online translation journal Asymptote. You can reach me on Twitter (@a_nathanwest) or via the contact form below.
