John Edwin Woods is a translator who specializes in translating German literature, since about 1978.
His work includes much of the fictional prose of Arno Schmidt and the works of contemporary authors such as Ingo Schulze and Christoph Ransmayr.
He also translated all the major novels of Thomas Mann (a feat comparable, in simple page count, to a wholly new translation of Proust), as well as works by many other writers.
Woods lives in Berlin.
