The Art of Translating Comics: A
Conversation with Hannah Chute
From lareviewofbooks.org - May 18, 2022 11:20 PM
FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS, Hannah Chute has been translating graphic
novels from French into English, including Espé’s The Parakeet (2021), a
deeply personal story of the artist’s mother’s illness; Pablo
Fajardo’s Crude: A Battle Against Big Oil (2021), an account of the
author’s ght against Texaco and Chevron in the Amazon rainforest; and
Fabien Toulmé’s Hakim’s Odyssey (2021), which follows a refugee who
escapes Syria to settle in France.
By her own admission, Chute’s path to translation was a bit unusual.
After studying French when she was young, she decided to pursue translation at the University of Rochester. One of her rst efforts was the very
di cult novel Island of Point Nemo by Jean-Marie Blas de Roblès, which
has been described as a Jules Verne adventure structured like a
Murakami novel. Needless to say, such a text presented signi cant challenges. The translation of comics and graphic novels involves its own
challenges and constraints, demanding succinctness and an almost musical attention to tone.
I recently spoke with Chute about her work as a translator and the speci c challenges involved in translating comics.

ALEX DUEBEN: How did you become a translator?
HANNAH CHUTE: My story is a little bit unusual. I was 16 and applying
to college, and I wanted to go to Rochester for a variety of reasons. I
was digging around on their website, trying to talk myself further into
the school. I had been very interested in languages, having taken French
for a long time and really loved it. I had a knack for it. I was also just a
book nerd my entire life. On Rochester’s website, I found their literary
translation department. They have an undergrad certi cate program
and a master’s program, so I did the certi cate and decided to stay on
for the advanced degree. I knew that is what I wanted to do.
How does one end up specializing in translating French into English?
Pretty much always you should translate into your native language.
Especially literary content. I also do commercial work: I worked at a
translation company for about four years. Some commercial work you
can do out of your native language, but it’s usually not recommended.
It’s always going to sound a little bit off. I took a course in college that
included some native French speakers and some native English speakers. We did exercises where all of us would translate from English to
French, and then all of us would translate from French to English. We
