SUMMARY:Jacob Rogers on The Last Days of Terranova with Eric Banks
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation on the practice of translation and often-intertwining literary and political history with translator Jacob Rogers and Eric Banks. They will discuss the translation of Manuel Rivas’s novel The Last Days of Terranova. The event will take place at McNally Jackson Seaport on January 24th at 7:00 pm. You can register for the event here — RSVPs are required. \nJacob Rogers is a translator of Galician and Spanish poetry and prose. He has received grants from the National Endowment of the Arts and the PEN/Heim Translation Fund\, as well as winning the Poetry in Translation Prize from Words Without Borders and the Academy of American Poets. He has helped coordinate two features of Galician-language writing\, in Words Without Borders and Asymptote\, and his translations have been featured in a variety of publications. His translation of Carlos Casares’s novel\, His Excellency\, was published by Small Stations Press in 2017. \n\n  \nEric Banks is director of the New York Institute for the Humanities. He is the former editor in chief of Bookforum and a former senior editor of Artforum. He is a past president of the National Book Critics Circle. Banks is consulting editor of the digital Robert Rauschenberg catalogue raisonné. \n  \n  \nThe Last Days of Terranova tells of Vicenzo Fontana\, the elderly owner of the long-standing Terranova Bookstore\, on the day it’s set to close due to the greed of real-estate speculators. On this final day\, Vincenzo spends the night in his beloved store filled more than seventy years of fugitive histories. Jumping from the present to various points in the past\, the novel ferries us back to Vicenzo’s childhood\, when his father opened the store in 1935\, to the years that the store was run by his Uncle Eliseo\, and to the years in the lead-up to the democratic transition\, which Vicenzo spent as far away from the bookstore as possible\, in Madrid. Like the bookstore itself\, The Last Days of Terranova is a space crammed with stories\, histories\, and literary references\, and as many nooks\, crannies\, and complexities\, brought to life in Rivas’s vital prose.

SUMMARY:Maureen Freely and Merve Emre in conversation about Dawn
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual discussion about our new release – Sevgi Soysal’s stunning 1975 novel Dawn. The book will be presented by the translator Maureen Freely\, in conversation with Merve Emre. The event is hosted by Community Bookstore\, in partnership with the Third Place Books and the Transnational Literature Series at Brookline Booksmith. It will take place on November 17th at 6pm EST via Zoom. You can register here. \nMaureen Freely is a writer\, translator\, senior lecturer at Warwick University\, and the President of English PEN. Her seventh novel\, Sailing through Byzantium\, was chosen as one of the best novels of 2014 by The Sunday Times. She has translated or co-translated a number of Turkish memoirs and classics\, including The Time Regulation Institute by Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar and five works by the Turkish novelist and Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk. She also co-translated A Useless Man by Sait Faik Abasıyanık with Alex Dawes. She is widely regarded as the foremost translator of Turkish literature. Sevgi Soysal was the first writer she ever translated. \n \n  \nMerve Emre is associate professor of English at the University of Oxford. She is the author of Paraliterary: The Making of Bad Readers in Postwar America\, The Ferrante Letters\, and The Personality Brokers. She is finishing a book titled Post-Discipline: Literature\, Professionalism\, and the Crisis of the Humanities and writing a book called Love and Other Useless Pursuits. She is a contributing writer at the New Yorker. Her essays and criticism have appeared in the New York Review of Books\, Harper’s\, New York Times Magazine\, The Atlantic\, and the London Review of Books. From 2022-23\, she will be a Distinguished Writer-in-Residence at the Shapiro Center at Wesleyan University. \nDawn tells a story about a handful of guests at a dinner party in Adana around the time of the 1971 coup in Turkey. A swift kick knocks down the front door and bumbling policemen converge on the guests\, carting them off to holding cells\, where they’ll be interrogated and tortured throughout the night. Written by a beloved author of Turkey’s left who was herself imprisoned after the coup of 1971\, its concerns remain critical for working people around the world. With a fearlessness that allows for total exposure\, Sevgi Soysal offers a portrait of the lives that bloom in the cracks of a repressive system\, and the ideas that continue to germinate today.

SUMMARY:Hanne Ørstavik and Nina MacLaughlin discuss Ti Amo at Brookline Booksmith
DESCRIPTION:Join Hanne Ørstavik and writer Nina MacLaughlin in conversation about Ørstavik’s latest novel\, Ti Amo. Hosted by the Brookline Booksmith\, the event will take place at the bookshop on November 3rd\, at 7pm EST. \nHanne Ørstavik published the novel Cut in 1994 and embarked on a career that would make her one of the most remarkable and admired authors in Norwegian contemporary literature. Her literary breakthrough came three years later with the publication of Love (Kjærlighet)\, which in 2006 was voted the 6th best Norwegian book of the last 25 years in a prestigious contest in Dagbladet\, and won the 2019 PEN Translation Prize. Since then\, the author has written several acclaimed and much discussed novels and received a host of literary prizes. \n  \n  \nNina MacLaughlin is the author of Wake\, Siren: Ovid Resung\, (FSG/FSG Originals)\, as well as Summer Solstice: An Essay (Black Sparrow). Her first book was the acclaimed memoir Hammer Head: The Making of a Carpenter (W.W. Norton).

She examines the elements of their life together: their Vietnamese rose-colored folding table where they eat their meals\, each of the New Year’s Eves they’ve shared\, their friendships\, and their most intimate exchanges. With everything in flux\, she searches for the facets that will remain. Hanne Ørstavik writes\, “I have a compulsion for truth that feels like my very life force itself.” Tentative\, laced with a tingling frankness\, Ørstavik’s prose adheres so closely to the inner workings of its narrator’s mind as to nearly undo itself. In Martin Aitken’s translation\, Ørstavik’s piercing story sings.

SUMMARY:Discussion between Scholastique Mukasonga and Vladimir Sorokin at Brooklyn Book Festival
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to be at the Brooklyn Book Festival again this year— we invite you to visit us at our booth\, and to join in for a conversation  between Scholastique Mukasonga\, author of Kibogo\, and Russian writer-in-exile Vladimir Sorokin\, who will talk about time\, myths and legends that shape communities\, and changes they have to undertake. The event will take place in the Center for Brooklyn History on October 2nd\, at 12pm EST. \nBorn in Rwanda in 1956\, Scholastique Mukasonga experienced from childhood the violence and humiliation of the ethnic conflicts that shook her country. In 1960\, her family was displaced to the polluted and under-developed Bugesera district of Rwanda. Mukasonga was later forced to leave the school of social work in Butare and flee to Burundi. She settled in France in 1992\, only two years before the brutal genocide of the Tutsi swept through Rwanda. Her first novel\, Our Lady Of The Nile\, won the Ahamadou Kourouma prize and the Renaudot prize in 2012\, as well as the Océans France Ô prize in 2013 and the French Voices Award in 2014; it was also shortlisted for the 2016 International Dublin Literary Award. In 2019\, The Barefoot Woman was a finalist for the 2019 National Book Award for Translated Literature. In 2019\, her novel Our Lady Of The Nile was adapted into a film by Atiq Rahimi. Her new novel Kibogo comes out in September. \nVladimir Sorokin was a major presence in the Moscow underground of the 1980s. His work was banned in the Soviet Union\, and his first novel\, The Queue\, was published by the famed émigré dissident Andrei Sinyavsky in France in 1985. In 1992\, Sorokin’s Their Four Hearts was short-listed for the Russian Booker Prize. In 1999\, the publication of the controversial novel Blue Lard\, which included a sex scene between clones of Stalin and Khrushchev\, led to public demonstrations against the book and demands that Sorokin be prosecuted as a pornographer. In 2001\, he received the Andrei Bely Award for outstanding contributions to Russian literature. His work has been translated into more than thirty languages. His latest book\, Telluria\, comes out in August. \n

SUMMARY:Scholastique Mukasonga and Mark Polizzotti in celebration of Kibogo
DESCRIPTION:Join the Transnational Literature Series at Brookline Booksmith for an in-store event with Scholastique Mukasonga and translator Mark Polizzotti to celebrate the release of Kibogo. Longlisted for 2022 National Book Award\, it’s a masterwork of satire\, lore\, and living memory from the leading voice of French-Rwandan literature. The conversation will take place on September 29th\, at 7pm ET. You can register here. \nScholastique Mukasonga was born in Rwanda in 1956. She settled in France in 1992\, only two years before the brutal genocide of the Tutsi swept through Rwanda. Her groundbreaking books include: the debut novel Our Lady of the Nile\, Cockroaches (chosen by the New York Times as one of the fifty best memoirs of the last fifty years)\, Igifu\, and National Book Award-nominated The Barefoot Woman\, expertly translated by Jordan Stump. In 2021\, she won the Simone de Beauvoir Prize for Women’s Freedom. \n  \n  \n  \nMark Polizzotti is a biographer\, critic\, translator\, editor\, and poet. In 2016\, he received an Award for Literature from the American Academy of Arts & Letters and was made a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture. His translation of Eric Vuillard’s The War of the Poor was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize in 2021. His own books include Revolution of the Mind: The Life of André Breton\, which was a finalist for the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction; Bob Dylan: Highway 61 Revisited; a monograph on Luis Buñuel’s Los Olvidados; and Sympathy for the Traitor: A Translation Manifesto. He has translated over fifty books from the French\, including works by Patrick Modiano\, Gustave Flaubert\, and Marguerite Duras\, among others. He directs the publications program at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York. \n  \nIn Kibogo\, Mukasonga’s recounts the clash between ancient Rwandan beliefs and the missionaries’ determination to replace them with European Christianity. When a rogue priest is defrocked for fusing the gospels with the martyrdom of Kibogo\, a fierce clash of cults ensues. Swirling with the heady smell of wet earth and flashes of acerbic humor\, Mukasonga brings to life the vital mythologies that imbue the Rwandan spirit. In doing so\, she gives us a tale of disarming simplicity and profound universal truth. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Ida Jessen and Anne Michaels discuss  A Postcard for Annie
DESCRIPTION:We are happy to invite you to a virtual conversation between Ida Jessen and Anne Michaels in celebration of Jessen’s A Postcard for Annie\, translated to English by Martin Aitken. Third Place Books and Community Bookstore will co-host the event\, and it will be streamed live on Saturday\, July 23rd 3PM EST. You can register here. \nIn six simmering stories\, Ida Jessen cuts through the ordinary artifices that prop up our closest relationships\, exposing the lucid truth. The voices of women and girls animate these narratives. In one\, a pair of young sisters wander through their neighborhood at night\, under telephone lines glazed with ice\, over pavements that resemble “the darkest glass\,” unaware of the violence unfolding in a nearby grocery store. In another\, a mother and son improvise an elaborate choreography in order to conceal\, even from themselves\, an act of brutality. Desire clicks uncomfortably against reality\, goading characters into desperate exploits or carrying them toward hotheaded romance. Family life shapeshifts\, becoming an embittered snare or a tender\, fragile mooring. Sprightly and acute\, Jessen uncovers the currents of rage\, love\, duplicity\, and courage that shape our resolutions\, and change our lives. \n Ida Jessen is widely considered to be the master of psychological realism in contemporary Danish fiction. Having made her debut with the short-story collection Under Sten (Under Stone) in 1989\, Jessen’s breakthrough came with the trilogy: Den der lyver (The One Who’s Lying; 2011)\, Det første jeg tænker (The First Thing I Think Of; 2006)\, and Børnene (The Children; 2009). The latter earned her the Booksellers Prize\, the Golden Laurel and a nomination for the Nordic Council Literature Prize. Her short story collection\, Postkort til Annie (Postcard to Annie; 2013) earned her another nomination for the Nordic Council Prize. Jessen was recently awarded the 2017 Critics’ Choice Award (April 2018) for The Anagrams of Doctor Bagge. She is also a recipient of the Lifetime Award from the Danish Arts Foundation. \n\nAnne Michaels is a novelist and poet. Her books are translated into more than fifty languages and have won dozens of international awards\, including the Orange Prize\, the Guardian Fiction Prize\, and the Lannan Award for Fiction. Among many other honours she is a Guggenheim Fellow\, has received honorary degrees\, and has served as Toronto’s Poet Laureate. Her novel Fugitive Pieces was adapted as a feature film. Her most recent books include All We Saw\, Infinite Gradation\, and Railtracks (co-written with John Berger).

SUMMARY:Bruna Dantas Lobato and Andrea Lawlor celebrate Caio Fernando Abreu
DESCRIPTION:Join Bruna Dantas Lobato and Andrea Lawlor as they discuss Dantas Lobato’s translation of Moldy Strawberries by Caio Fernando Abreu. Odyssey Bookshop will host their conversation virtually on June 14th at 7pm EST.\n\n\nIn Moldy Strawberries\, Caio Fernando Abreu navigates a Brazil transformed by the AIDS epidemic and stifling military dictatorship of the ’80s. Suspended between fear and longing\, Abreu’s characters grasp for connection. A man speckled with Carnival glitter crosses a crowded dance floor and seeks the warmth and beauty of another body. A budding office friendship between two young men grows into a “strange and secret harmony.” One man desires another but fears that their complot might crumble with one clumsy word or gesture. Junkies\, failed revolutionaries\, poets\, and conflicted artists face threats at every turn. But\, inwardly ferocious and resilient\, they heal. For Abreu there is beauty on the horizon\, mingled with the light of memory and decay.\n\nAndrea Lawlor teaches writing at Mount Holyoke College\, is the recipient of a 2020 Whiting Award for Fiction\, and has been awarded fellowships by Lambda Literary and Radar Labs. Their publications include a chapbook\, Position Papers (Factory Hollow Press\, 2016)\, and a novel\, Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl\, a 2018 finalist for the Lambda Literary and CLMP Firecracker Awards. \nBruna Dantas Lobato received an MFA in Fiction from New York University and an MFA in Literary Translation from the University of Iowa. Her stories\, essays\, and translations from Portuguese have appeared or are forthcoming in The Kenyon Review\, Harvard Review\, A Public Space\, BOMB\, Two Lines\, and Massachusetts Review. She was a 2018 A Public Space Fellow\, a 2019 PEN/Heim recipient\, and a Yaddo resident. \n\nCaio Fernando Abreu (1948-1996) was one of the most influential Brazilian writers of the 1970s and ’80s. The author of twenty books\, including twelve story collections and two novels\, he has been awarded major literary prizes\, including the prestigious Jabuti Prize for Fiction a total of three times. During the military dictatorship in Brazil\, his writing about queer erotic life was heavily censored. In 1994\, while exiled in France\, he tested HIV positive. He died two years later in his hometown.
