What is your personal relationship to language and translation? What drew you to Words Without Borders (and literature in translation more generally)?

It is impossible for me to talk about my relation to language and literature without talking about translation. My love for language developed very early because of the Bengali lullabies and folktales I heard before going to bed from my grandmother and my parents. My brother and I inherited a bunch of picture books from the USSR, translated from Russian into Bengali, that my mother had collected in the 1980s.
