English > Swedish: A bit out of the ordinary? Book on male-female romantic relationships
The book is a memoir-cum-meditation on male-female romantic relationships and related matters (especially my highly unusual family background and various aspects of sexuality), related from the standpoint of a person (me) who has a rather unusual take on the whole situation and who has done a considerable amount of reading and thinking on the subject – in addition to extensive experience.
I’m looking for a Swedish translator who’s willing and able to take a creative approach to adapting the book for a Swedish audience. What I’d really like to find is a translator who sees herself as a partner and collaborator in the writing process, rather than a “faithful” transcriber of someone else’s prose. In other words, I want someone who’s interested in transforming my book into one that could have been written in Swedish and does not at all sound like a translation and who’s willing to make whatever changes in the source text that she deems necessary in order to produce a truly Swedish book that will appeal to a wide Swedish readership.
Example of text:
Who’s this for? Who are you writing for?
– Anyone who has or will ever become involved in a “romantic” relationship – but men in particular.
How come men?
– Well I’m one for one thing, at least nominally. Which is the crux of the problem, or at least one of them.
I thought you’d decided to stick to the facts and leave the so called reasons out of it.
– Bad habit.
