★ FEATURE
Biography
Bruna Dantas Lobato is a fiction writer and translator of Brazilian literature. Born January 1, 1991, in Brazil, she has built a dual career bridging Portuguese and English texts. Her translation of The Words That Remain by Stênio Gardel won the 2023 National Book Award for Translated Literature, the highest U.S. honor for translation. Her translation of The Dark Side of Skin by Jeferson Tenório earned an English PEN Translates Award, while her translation of Moldy Strawberries by Caio Fernando Abreu was longlisted for both the PEN Translation Prize and the Republic of Consciousness Prize. Her debut novel Blue Light Hours was published in 2024 by Grove Atlantic in North America and is being translated into multiple languages. The novel grew from a story originally published in The New Yorker; she also released a Portuguese-language edition through Companhia das Letras, translating her own work with the title Horas azuis. Her stories appear regularly in The New Yorker, Guernica, A Public Space, and The Common. As a writer, Lobato works across translation, original fiction, and short-form narrative—disciplines that deepen each other. A Capricorn born into a Life Path 22 (the Master Builder number), she operates at the intersection of two literary cultures.
