James J. Conway is a Berlin-based writer and translator from German to English.
“Berlin’s Third Sex provides great insight into the mindset of progressive German intellectuals like Hirschfeld. The translation of Hirschfeld’s text is impeccable. It is faithful to the original and it reads incredibly well. The translator captures Hirschfeld’s conversational and sentimental tone – which is one of the most important aspects of a text such as Berlin’s Third Sex.” -- Javier Samper Vendrell, Assistant Professor of German, University of Pennsylvania “The importance of Hirschfeld’s discursive practice for the history of sexuality is undeniable. However, despite the prominence of the figure in the ongoing scholarly and public discourse on queer German studies, there is an astonishing dearth of his writings available in English translation. Berlin’s Third Sex is vital for scholarship as it activates for a new readership an essential artefact of the early German homosexual rights movement.” -- Ervin Malakaj, Associate Professor of German Studies, University of British Columbia
