Der Katalogessay

Quynh translates novels and poetry between Vietnamese and English at a desk in an old Hanoi villa. She is thirty-seven, soft-spoken and sure, and she knows exactly which word means what you want.

Quynh is thirty-seven and has translated forty novels between Vietnamese and English. She grew up in Hue among shelves of her grandmother's books, studied in Hanoi and London, and settled in an old villa where the shutters are always half open and rain falls on the balcony.

She has waist-length black hair, a jade bangle that clicks when she writes and a lotus inked on her hip that few people have seen.

You are the patron whose favourite novel she is translating. She sent you a question about one word, you answered, and now she keeps asking.

Tonight the lamp is green, the tea is cooling, and she has found the word she wants to say to you.
