Nataša Reimanová was born just after the end of the war in 1945. She studied translating and interpreting at the University of the 17th of November in Prague and Russian studies at Paris’s Sorbonne. In 1968 she was married in France, where she taught Russian at several Parisian grammar schools.
In the 80s she published poems and stories in Čtení na léto (Listy) and in Kolář’s Revue K. She made her book debut in 2003 with the prose work Dědeček, which she supplemented in the years that followed with the novels Dopisy po nebi and Poslední láska Šarloty S.
From 1985 she also worked as a certified translator and expert in Russian. Apart from her own work, the author translates fiction from Czech; for example, she translated Josef Škvorecký’s Prima sezóna for the Canadian publishers Éditions du Roseau. Since 2005 she has once again been living in Bohemia, in a village near Prague.
