Goodmorning people of Litreactor, I need your help. I am an Italian speaking student and I am looking for untraslated English literature for my final essay at the university of Triest. Do you know any author who has never been translated in Italian? Thank you all very much.

Hi, I'm Italian and I think Mark Richard, author of The Ice at the Bottom of the World, is not translated in Italian yet. Not 100% sure. His stories are awesome, though he might not be a piece of cake to work.

Do you have to translate it yourself?

I was also never able to find a translation of Roald Dahl's Switch Bitch. It's all stories that originally appeared in Playboy, don't know how that fares in Uni but hey, it's still Dahl. Softer than vanilla.

Good luck with you paper!

Thank you very much, Flaminia :) Yes, I have to translate it by myself and write a translation commentary. I usually love Roald Dahl, I'll look for further information. I don't think my professors will care about the Playboy thingh, on the contrary. Thank you again for the piece of advice :)
