*Version française à venir!*

David Warriner's translation of Paul Serge Forest's astonishing debut novel Everything is Ori will be published by QC Fiction in March 2023. Lauded by critics, it's been called 'the most daring reading experience of the year' and 'one of the best Quebec novels of the past ten years.'


   

In 2017, David was thrilled to translate a short story as part of an innovative project by QC Fiction's I Never Talk About It,  a collection of 37 short stories written by Véronique Côté and Steve Gagnon and translated by 37 different translators from around the world to gives readers a flavour of the fresh new writing coming out of Quebec—and a reminder that there are at least 37 different ways to translate an author’s voice.
 
     


 

Literary translation is a broad field, and it's important for translators to work on books they enjoy, right? As a professional literary translator, David Warriner has translated published titles in a variety of fields including short stories, non-fiction and children's books, though his true passion lies in crime fiction, literary mysteries and thrillers.

David Warriner's translation of Quebec author Roxanne Bouchard's literary mystery We Were the Salt of the Sea was published by Orenda Books in 2018 and shortlisted for the Society of Authors Scott Moncrieff Prize for French-English translation in 2019. His translation of 'French Queen of Crime' writer Johana Gustawsson's Blood Song was published by Orenda Books in 2019 and longlisted for the 2020 CWA Dagger for Crime Fiction in Translation. David's translation of Roxanne Bouchard's The Coral Bride, winner of the Crime Writers of Canada Award for Best French Crime Book, was then shortlisted for the 2021 CWA Dagger for Crime Fiction in Translation. Book 3 in Roxanne's DS Moralès series, Whisper of the Seals, was published to critical acclaim in 2022.

David Warriner's translation of bestselling Icelandic author Ragnar Jónasson's Winterkill (unconventionally, via the French translation, which was published before the original Icelandic) was published in 2020, and shot to number one in the ebook charts in the UK, Canada and Australia. His translation of Johana Gustawsson's The Bleeding, a spell-binding, dazzlingly dark gothic thriller that swings from Belle Époque Paris to 21st-century Quebec, with an extraordinary mystery at its heart, was praised by the Sunday Times as one of the best historical fiction titles of 2022 and made the shortlist for the CWA Dagger for Crime Fiction in Translation. His translation of Johana Gustawsson's Yule Island was published in November 2023.
