Tess
Lewis

Tess Lewis is a writer and translator from French and German. Her translation of Lutz Seiler’s debut novel Kruso was the runner-up in the 2018 Schlegel-Tieck Prize. The Economist found that, ‘beautifully phrased and paced, Tess Lewis’s translation delights on every page as she conveys “the contagious sense of liberation” that blows through Mr. Seiler’s mesmeric novel.’
