Jonathan Wright es un periodista y traductor literario británico especializado en literatura árabe. Ganó reconocimiento por su traducción de la aclamada obra de Khaled al-Khamissi "Taxi", publicada originalmente por Aflame Books en 2008 y posteriormente reeditada por Bloomsbury Qatar en 2012. Su portafolio de traducciones incluye obras destacadas como "Azazeel" y "The State of Egypt", que demuestran su experiencia en llevar la literatura árabe contemporánea a audiencias angloparlantes.
Con una trayectoria de tres décadas como corresponsal de Reuters, Wright aporta un profundo conocimiento regional a sus traducciones. Estudió árabe, turco y civilización islámica en St John's College, Oxford, antes de unirse a Reuters en 1980. Su amplia experiencia viviendo y trabajando en Medio Oriente - incluyendo asignaciones como jefe de oficina en El Cairo y misiones en Sudán, Líbano, Túnez y el Golfo - informa su enfoque matizado de la traducción literaria. De 1998 a 2003, cubrió la política exterior estadounidense desde Washington, DC, ampliando aún más su perspectiva geopolítica.
