Else Silke

Else Silke won the 2009 SATI Prize for Outstanding Translation for her translation of Chris Carsten’s Charlize: Life’s one helluva ride.  “She shows her command as a translator from the first words of the biography,” the judges wrote, “transforming the close connection between the compelling story and its Afrikaans readers into an equally compelling story written for an international audience.” She has also translated works by Karel Schoeman.
