Ezra E. Fitz began his literary life at Princeton University, studying under the tutelage of James Irby, C.K. Williams, David Bellos, and Jonathan Galassi. His senior thesis was described by the late Robert Fagles as "a heartening manifesto" on the art of translation.
Since then, he has worked with Grammy winning musician Juanes, Emmy winning journalist Jorge Ramos, and the king of soccer himself, Pelé. His translations of contemporary Latin American literature by Alberto Fuguet, Eloy Urroz, and others have been praised by The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Yorker, and The Believer, among other publications, while shorter works have appeared in The Boston Review, Harper's Magazine, Words Without Borders, and The Brooklyn Quarterly.
Fitz has been awarded grants from the Mexican National Fund for Culture and Arts (FONCA), he was a 2010 Resident at the Banff International Literary Translation Centre, and a 2019 Peter Taylor Fellow with the Kenyon Review Literary Translation Workshop.
He lives with his wife and children in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
