My name is Adrian Nathan West. If you write to me, you can call me Nate. My first book, The Aesthetics of Degradation, was published in June 2016 by Repeater. My essays, fiction, reviews, and shorter translations have appeared in numerous journals in print and online, including 3:AM, McSweeney’s, The Times Literary Supplement, and The Review of Contemporary Fiction. I have translated books from German, Catalan, and Spanish, as well as short pieces from Portuguese, French, and Italian, by authors ranging from Josef Winkler to Pere Gimferrer to Marianne Fritz, and have worked with a wide array of publishers both small and large, including Jonathan Cape, Dalkey Archive, Planeta, and NYRB Classics. I am also a contributing editor at the online translation journal Asymptote. I can be reached on Twitter (@a_nathanwest) or via the contact form below.
