Mukasonga escaped Rwanda just before the genocide began, eventually making her way to France where she worked as a social worker. Cockroaches is her first book, originally published in French in 2006. It\u2019s a chronicling of her life leading up to the Rwandan genocide and the time period just after. Twenty-seven members of her family were killed, including her mother. The details within are gruesome, difficult, and thoroughly rendered.<\/p>\n<p>Cockroaches\u2019 translator Dr. Jordan Stump has an impressive r\u00e9sum\u00e9. He\u2019s translated works by Honor\u00e9 de Balzac, Jules Verne, Nobel Prize winner Patrick Modiano, and the French-Senegalese writer Marie NDiaye whose recent novel Ladivine is quite the read (my review here). In 2001, his translation work earned him the French-American Foundation\u2019s translation prize, and in 2006 he was named Chevalier de l\u2019Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. He\u2019s a professor of French at UNL and has written two books of his own, The Other Book: Bewilderments of Fiction and Naming and Unnaming: On Raymond Queneau.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read The whole interview on <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.pshares.org\/index.php\/holding-back-poetic-tendencies-an-interview-with-jordan-stump\/\" target=\"_blank\">PLOUGSHARES<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read an interview by Cockroaches&#8217;s translator Jordan Stump for literary journal Ploughshares at Emerson College from Boston.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":210,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.10 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>PLOUGSHARES : An Interview with Jordan Stump - S.
