Translation
Theodore Odrach’s works are being translated into English by his
daughter, Erma Odrach. As quoted in the Paumanok
Review, Autumn, 2002:
Forced into exile by the Soviets,
Belarusian-born author Theodore Odrach’s work has been lost to the
English-speaking world for almost half a century. Now, with the help of the
daughter he hardly knew, this dissident’s voice is being given a new
life.
Many stories by Odrach have appeared in literary journals in Canada and
the U.S., including WRIT, Paumanok
Review, Antigonish Review, Mobius: the Journal of Social Change, The New
Quarterly, Translation: Columbia University, Wilmington Blues, Flipside,
Archipelago, Scrivener, Connecticut
Review and others.
