The Blog
Find Me Elsewhere
A bookish blog with an international outlook.
This blog is a place to share thoughts on literature, translation, culture and more. There will hopefully be plenty of good reading recommendations and other things of interest.
​
The languages I translate from are Spanish and Portuguese, so my reading choices may reflect a bias towards those interests, but I try to have a varied book diet. In recent years I have written about football for a number of websites and I can't promise football won't crop up from time to time here too.
Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any comments, feedback or recommendations. Likewise if you wish to suggest a book for reviewing or propose a collaboration.
Happy reading!

The Author
My name is Andrew McDougall. I was born in Glasgow and studied Portuguese and English Literature at the University of Edinburgh. I have also lived in Sussex, Lisbon, Coimbra, Logroño, Vitoria-Gasteiz and Norwich, where I completed an MA in Literary Translation at the University of East Anglia. My work has included co-translating a book by José Eduardo Agualusa and translating a chapter by Ana Cristina Silva as part of the Escape Goat project, on which I also collaborated as an editor. I translate from Portuguese and Spanish.
