What I do with the story itself varies of course, but what I want to do is to present the world so that the reader can access it without tripping over the details.
Karin TidbeckI can write a story in working-class Stockholm Swedish, but I'm not going to assume I can perform the same feat with Cockney. I'll focus on adventures in story, themes and structure instead.
Karin TidbeckI don't go out of my way to write Weird Fiction, or in any other genre. Some of my stuff easily slips into the Weird slot.
Karin TidbeckSome stories I write in Swedish, some in English. Short stories I've almost exclusively written in English lately, mostly because there's such a small market for them in Sweden and it doesn't really pay either. So, the translation goes both ways. What also factors in is that I have a different voice in English, which means that a straight translation wouldn't be the same as if I'd written it in English originally.
