He translates contemporary Slovene literature for publishing houses and authors in Slovenia, with translations published in both the UK and US.
Praise:
The Lake by Tadej Golob is the first Slovene crime novel I devoured from beginning to end; I am also enthusiastic about it because I believe that the birth of endemic popular fiction significantly reinforces the Slovene literary landscape.
-- Miha Kovač, Delo
The Lake is a phenomenon.
--Noah Charney, AirBeletrina
Golob has built a convincing literary world that is the setting for cleverly set out criminal tribulations, sacrificing certain characteristics of the genre for others, and in doing so, discovering his own expression that will remind us that human monsters are much worse that those hiding in the lake.
--Veronika Šoster, AirBeletrina
