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.

The book will be presented by the translator Maureen Freely\, in conversation with Merve Emre.

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.

She is the author of Paraliterary: The Making of Bad Readers in Postwar America\, The Ferrante Letters\, and The Personality Brokers.

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.

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.

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.

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  URL:https://archipelagobooks.org/event/discussion-between-scholastique-mukasonga-and-vladimir-sorokin-at-brooklyn-book-festival/ LOCATION:Center for Brooklyn History\, 128 Pierrepont Street\, Brooklyn\, NY\, 11201\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="Archipelago Books":MAILTO:info@archipelagobooks.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220929T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220929T200000 DTSTAMP:20220915T212920Z CREATED:20220915T212652Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220915T212920Z UID:42486-1664478000-1664481600@archipelagobooks.org 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  URL:https://archipelagobooks.org/event/scholastique-mukasonga-mark-polizzotti-kibogo/ LOCATION:Brookline Booksmith\, 279 Harvard St\, Brookline\, MA\, 02446\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220805T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220805T190000 DTSTAMP:20220725T204211Z CREATED:20220715T214137Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220725T204211Z UID:41860-1659715200-1659726000@archipelagobooks.org SUMMARY:Archipelago at Indie Press Summer Fridays!

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.

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 more information\, and to register for the event\, please visit Point Reyes Books’ website here. \nJean Giono was born in Manosque in 1895 and spent most of his life in that part of Provence\, which is also the setting for his immense body of work\, over fifty novels\, as well as poems\, essays and plays. During World War II\, he turned to political writing and was jailed for pacifist activities. He is best known in North America for his autobiographical Blue Boy\, The Horseman on the Roof\, and The Man Who Planted Trees. \nJody Gladding is a poet and translator.

He will talk about his translation process\, the nuances of translating Polish and French\, and how he became such a fan of Giono’s work. For more information\, please visit Trafika Europe Radio’s Facebook page\, here\, or their website\, here. \nEnnemonde Girard: Obese. Toothless. Brilliant. Loving mother and murderous wife: a character like none other in literature. In telling us Ennemonde’s astounding story of undetected crimes\, Jean Giono immerses us in the perverse and often lurid lifeways of the people of the High Country\, where vengeance is an art form\, hearts are superfluous\, and only boldness and cunning such as Ennemonde’s can win the day. Ennemonde is a gleeful\, sardonic grin of a novel. \nJean Giono was born in Manosque in 1895 and spent most of his life in that part of Provence\, which is also the setting for his immense body of work\, over fifty novels\, as well as poems\, essays and plays.

Ørstavik has written a number of acclaimed novels that have been translated into more than 16 languages.

DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nWe’d love for you to join us on Sunday\, December 5 at the Hungarian House for tango with live music to celebrate the release of Edgardo Cozarinsky’s Milongas! Translated from the Spanish by Valerie Miles\, the book is a rich exploration of the history and kaleidoscopic world of tango. \nJoin us for empanadas and vino\, live music by La Guardia Imperial\, and dancing into the night! The evening will begin at 6:30pm with a beginner tango class led by Walter Perez and an intermediate tango class led by Florencia Borgnia & Marcos Pereira\, followed by a DJ set by Rainier Pereira at 8pm and live music by La Guardia Imperial at 9 and 10pm. Tango dancers Florencia Borgnia & Marcos Pereira will perform at 9:30pm. The event will be accompanied by Argentine delicacies and nibbles by Argentine chef Ema Perello. \nCopies of Milongas will be available for purchase. \nThe cover for this event is $25. You can RSVP to reserve a table here. Please feel free to join us at any point in the night! \nIn his playful\, conspiratorial voice\, Cozarinsky moves us through the rich and varied culture of tango\, circling the globe to hidden milongas tucked away in the crypt of a London Church\, a café in Krakow\, the quays of the Seine\, to the Red Square of Moscow. At neighborhood dance halls alive in the early hours of the morning\, where young and old\, foreign and native\, novice and master come together in a tradition that traverses borders\, demographics\, and social mores\, “it is impossible to distinguish the dance from the dancer.” As erudite as he is candid\, Cozarinsky shares the culture of this timeless dance with us through glimmering anecdotes to celebrate its traditions\, evolution\, and the devotees who give it life. \nBorn in Argentina\, Edgardo Cozarinsky is the author of numerous novels\, including La ausencia de guerra (2015)\, Dinero para fantasmas (2012)\, and Lejos de donde (2009)\, which was awarded the prize for the Academia Argentina de Letras. Cozarinsky is also well known as a screenwriter and director\, whose films blur the boundaries between fiction and documentary. He resides in Buenos Aires and in Paris. \nThe Hungarian House is located at 213 E 82nd St in Manhattan. For more information and to RSVP\, you can follow the link here.
