edit data

Julia Meitov Hersey originally began her translation of Vita Nostra because she wanted her non-Russian speaking family to share her love for this striking example of urban psychological science fiction and fantasy genre, along with its literary allusions and dark ominous atmosphere. Born in Moscow, Hersey moved to the United States in 1990 at the age of 19. Currently, she is at work on translation of other Russian to English projects.

Quotes by Julia Meitov Hersey (?)

“It is the consequence of objective, unyielding laws. To live is to be vulnerable. To love is to fear. And the one who is not afraid—that person is calm like a boa constrictor and cannot love.”
― Julia Meitov Hersey, Vita Nostra
