Chris Andrews (translator)

Chris Andrews (born 1962) is an Australian translator and writer. He is the first and most prolific translator into English of the work of award-winning writer Roberto Bolaño, whom the New York Times called "the most significant Latin American literary voice of his generation."[1][2][3] Bolaño's short story "Police Rat," collected in The Insufferable Gaucho, was dedicated to Andrews and Robert Amutio, who has translated Bolaño's work into French.[4][5]

In July 2014, Columbia University Press will publish Andrews' book Roberto Bolaño's Fiction: An Expanding Universe, a book of criticism that analyzes Bolaño's themes, techniques, and reception in English translation.[6][7]

Andrews has also published original poetry, with one collection winning the 2011 Anthony Hecht Poetry Prize.[8]
