“In this captivating translation, Sylvie Bérard and Suzanne Grenier met the colossal challenge of recreating Larissa Lai’s biopunk thriller with their attention to detail and toe-curling inventiveness. By mixing pop culture references with imaginary elements, the translators offer up a living mosaic, a unique window into a dystopian world shot through with possibility. This work is a bold and remarkable exercise in adaptation and transcreation.”
