After obtaining a 1st in French & Drama at the University of London, Adriana Hunter worked as a film publicist and freelance writer before “discovering” the first book she was to translate. She has now translated 90 books including over 60 French novels. She won the 2011 Scott-Moncrieff Prize for her translation of Véronique Olmi’s Bord de Mer (Beside the Sea), and the 2013 French-American Foundation and Florence Gould Foundation Translation Prize for Hervé Le Tellier’s Electrico W. She was shortlisted twice for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize (now the Man Booker International Prize).
