The translator behind this year’s International Booker Prize winner

This year’s International Booker Prize was awarded to Jenny Erpenbeck’s novel “Kairos.” It’s the first translated German work to win the prize. Erpenbeck shares the prize with noted translator Michael Hofmann. Host Carolyn Beeler speaks to Hofmann about the work of a literary translator, which he says can sometimes feel like the equivalent of building a road.
