Zoriana Hnativ

An editor and essayist on literature in translation. She studies how Ukrainian translations shape readers' taste and why the same book sounds different in different languages. Her column follows world classics in new Ukrainian versions, comparing editions across decades, and she publishes comparative tables as appendices: a reader should see how a text changed, not merely the latest edition that reached the shop. She teaches an editing practicum in which students revise the same passage and compare versions, demonstrating that editing is a matter of choice rather than error correction. She writes often about editing as invisible co-authorship.
