Ezra E. Fitz


TRANSLATES: Spanish and Portuguese

Ezra E. Fitz began his literary life as an undergraduate at Princeton University, studying under the tutelage of James Irby, C.K. Williams, and Jonathan Galassi.  His senior thesis was described by Robert Fagles as "a heartening manifesto" on the art of translation. 

Since then, he has focused his attention on current Latin American literature, including the controversial Crack and McOndo movements.  His translations of Alberto Fuguet, Eloy Urroz, and Jorge Ramos have been praised by The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Yorker, and The Believer, among other publications.

Fitz is also at work on a novel of his own--his first--set in the New York neighborhoods of Morningside Heights and Crown Heights.
