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.

SUMMARY:Bill Johnston discusses Ennemonde on Trafika Europe Radio
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, February 27\, at 11 AM EST\, Trafika Europe Radio Season Five is launching with an exceptional literary line-up\, featuring conversations with Ilija Trojanow\, Ana Blandiana\, Viorica Patea\, Fiona Sampson\, Franca Mancinelli\, and Bill Johnston\, translator of many Archipelago titles! \nJohnston will discuss his translation of Jean Giono’s Ennemonde\, published by Archipelago last fall\, with host Clayton McKee.. 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. 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. \nBill Johnston is Professor of Comparative Literature at Indiana University. His translations include Witold Gombrowicz’s Bacacay; Magdalena Tulli’s Dreams and Stones\, Moving Parts\, Flaw\, and In Red; Jerzy Pilch’s His Current Woman and The Mighty Angel; Stefan Żeromski’s The Faithful River; and Fado and Dukla by Andrzej Stasiuk. In 1999 he received a National Endowment for the Arts Poetry Fellowship for Translation. In 2008 he won the inaugural Found in Translation Award for Tadeusz Rozewicz’s new poems\, and in 2012 he was awarded the PEN Translation Prize and Three Percent’s Best Translated Book Award for Myśliwski’s Stone Upon Stone. \n

SUMMARY:Hanne Ørstavik and Linda Gregerson in conversation at Literati Bookstore
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nOn December 16 at 6pm CST\, join Hanne Ørstavik and Linda Gregerson for a virtual reading and conversation on Ørstavik’s novel The Pastor\, translated from the Norwegian by Martin Aitken. This event is presented by our friends at Literati Bookstore in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. \nThe event will stream live on Zoom. You can find the link to register here. \nWith the publication of The Pastor\, “Ørstavik distinguishes herself as a leading light in international literature\,” Publishers Weekly wrote. \nMartin Aitken’s translation of Ørstavik’s novel Love\, also published by Archipelago\, was a finalist for the 2018 National Book Award for Translation.

The aerial beauty of Martin Aitken’s translation contributes to make the novel a successful rarity: a book that is at the same time a thriller and a dense literary object. ‘Perfect’ may be the proper adjective to describe it.” \nHanne Ørstavik\, one of the most admired and prominent writers in contemporary Norwegian fiction\, published her first novel Cut in 1994. Ørstavik has written a number of acclaimed novels that have been translated into more than 16 languages. She has been awarded a host of literary prizes\, including the Dobloug Prize\, presented annually for Swedish and Norwegian fiction by the Swedish Academy.

SUMMARY:Celebrate Edgardo Cozarinsky's Milongas at the Hungarian House with tango and live music by La Guardia Imperial!
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. We look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Paul Eprile\, Bill Johnston & Edmund White in conversation on Jean Giono
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nWe’d love for you to join us on November 11 at 5PM EST for a virtual conversation between Paul Eprile\, Bill Johnston\, and Edmund White. Eprile and Johnston will be discussing their new translations of Jean Giono‘s work: Ennemonde\, translated by Johnston and out from Archipelago\, and The Open Road\, translated by Eprile and out from NYRB Classics. This event is co-presented by Archipelago\, NYRB\, Community Bookstore\, and Albertine Bookstore and will stream live on Zoom. \nYou can find the link to register for this virtual event here. \nOn Ennemonde\, Duncan Stuart wrote\, “Ennemonde is a novel of nature\, a novel that might tells us something about the gap between humanity and its environs . . . The sky is black\, the trees – beeches\, chestnuts\, sessile oaks – are infinite\, the rocks reverberate\, and the peasants are murderous . . . Giono troubles us\, asks us to pay attention\, and shows us what one can see if one looks.” \nAndre Gidé\, Giono’s friend and collaborator\, wrote\, “Giono’s writing possesses a vigor\, a surprising texture\, a contagious joy\, a sureness of touch and design\, an arresting originality\, and that sort of unfeigned strangeness that always goes along with sincerity when it escapes from the ruts of convention.” \nPaul Eprile is a publisher\, poet\, and translator. He was a co-winner of the 2018 Annual Translation Prize of the French-American Foundation for his translation of Jean Giono’s Melville\, which was published by NYRB Classics. \nBill Johnston is a translator from Polish and French\, and Professor of Comparative Literature at Indiana University. In 2019\, he won the National Translation Award for Poetry for his translation of the Polish epic\, Pan Tadeusz\, published by Archipelago. \nEdmund White is the author of twenty-five books\, including The Unpunished Vice: A Life of Reading\, which was published in the spring of 2018. \n

SUMMARY:Robert Croll and Alicia Borinsky on Hebe Uhart's Animals
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nPlease join us on Tuesday\, November 2 at 2PM EST for a virtual conversation between Robert Croll and Alicia Borinsky\, hosted by The Center for Latin American Studies at Boston University. They’ll be discussing Hebe Uhart’s collection Animals\, translated from the Spanish by Croll. Animals tells of piglets that snack on crackers\, parrots that rehearse their words at night\, southern screamers that lurk at the front door of a decrepit aunt’s house\, and\, of course\, human animals\, whose presence is treated with the same inquisitive sharpness that marks all of Uhart’s work. \nThe link to register for the event is here. \nRobert Croll is a writer\, translator\, and editor originally from Asheville\, North Carolina. He graduated from Amherst College in 2016 with a degree in Architectural Studies and Spanish and currently lives and works in Northampton\, Massachusetts. As a translator\, his focus is on contemporary Latin American literature; he has worked on texts by such authors as Ricardo Piglia\, Hebe Uhart\, Julio Cortázar\, Gustavo Roldán\, Javier Sinay\, and Juan Carlos Onetti. \nAlicia Borinsky is a fiction writer\, poet and literary critic who has published extensively in English and Spanish in the United States\, Latin America and Europe. Her most recent books are Low Blows/Golpes Bajos (short fictions)\, Frivolous Women and Other Sinners (poetry)\, both published bilingually\, and One Way Tickets: Writers and the Culture of Exile (literary criticism). Professor Borinsky is the recipient of several awards\, including the Latino Literature Prize for Fiction and a John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship.  Her research interests include the theory and practice of literary translation\, trans-national cultural studies\, contemporary gender and literary theory\, Latino literature and the legacy of the Latin American avant-garde from Huidobro to Borges and the writers of the “Boom” to the present. \nBorn in the outskirts of Buenos Aires\, Hebe Uhart (1936-2018) is one of Argentina’s most celebrated modern writers. Her Collected Stories won the Buenos Aires Book Fair Prize (2010)\, and she received Argentina’s National Endowment of the Arts Prize (2015) for her body of work\, as well as the Manuel Rojas Ibero-American Narrative Prize (2017). Mariana Enríquez recalls\, “Enrique Fogwill once called Uhart Argentina’s greatest writer\, a gesture that she found condescending. She felt that she was a very fine writer\, but the legitimization from this bold and irate man bothered her. She had no need for it. Hebe Uhart lived intensely.” \n“Animals is at once tender\, bemused\, informative\, and deeply fun\,” wrote Lily Meyer for NPR. “It asks\, through sweet\, respectful attention\, how we might best relate to animals; how we humans\, so accustomed to seeing ourselves as nature’s rulers\, might adjust our attitudes.” \nWe look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Scholastique Mukasonga in conversation with Timothy Longman
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, October 28 at 4PM EST for On Mourning and Exile: Looking Back at Rwanda\, a virtual conversation between Rwandan writer Scholastique Mukasonga and Timothy Longman on grief in the wake of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. The event will be presented by Roger Williams University Library and Scholars at Risk-US in association with the African Studies Association and Archipelago Books. \nZadie Smith called The Barefoot Woman\, Mukasonga’s tribute to her mother and a striking portrait of life before the genocide\, “a powerful work of witness and memorial\, a loving act of reconstruction\, and an unflinching reckoning with the Rwandan Civil War. In sentences of great beauty and restraint\, Mukasonga rescues a million souls from the collective noun ‘genocide\,’ returning them to us as individual human beings\, who lived\, laughed\, meddled in each other’s affairs\, worked\, decorated their houses\, raised children\, told stories. An essential and powerful read.” \nMukasonga’s latest book\, Igifu\, is a collection of autobiographical stories that rends a glorious Rwanda from the obliterating force of recent history\, conjuring the noble cows of her home or the dew-swollen grass they graze on. J.M. Coetzee wrote that these stories “breathe upon a vanished world and bring it to life in all its sparkling multifariousness.” \nYou can find the link to register for On Mourning and Exile: Looking Back at Rwanda here. The event will stream live on Zoom. \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 2 years before the brutal genocide of the Tutsi swept through Rwanda. In the aftermath\, Mukasonga learned that 37 of her family members had been massacred. Twelve years later\, Gallimard published her autobiographical account Inyenzi ou les Cafards (Cockroaches)\, which marked Mukasonga’s entry into literature. This was followed by the publication of La femme aux pieds nus (The Barefoot Woman) in 2008 and L’Iguifou (Igifu) in 2010\, both widely praised. 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. The film won the “Crystal Bear” at Berlinale 2020 and was part of the Official Selection for TIFF 2019. \nTimothy Longman is a professor of political science and international relations and is the Director of the Institute on Culture\, Religion\, and World Affairs (CURA) and the Director ad interim of the African Studies Center in the Pardee School. His research focuses on state-society relations in Africa\, looking in particular at human rights\, transitional justice\, religion and politics\, gender and politics\, and the politics of race and ethnicity. He has published two books with Cambridge University Press\, Memory and Justice in Post-Genocide Rwanda (2017) and Christianity and Genocide in Rwanda (2010). He is currently working on a book comparing church-state relations throughout Africa. He served for eight years as the director of BU’s African Studies Center. \nFor more information and to register\, please follow the link here. \nWe look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Hanne Ørstavik in conversation with Rebecca Dinerstein Knight at Scandinavia House
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nWe’d love for you to join us on October 19 at 1PM EST for the virtual book release of Hanne Ørstavik’s new novel The Pastor\, translated from the Norwegian by Martin Aitken! Ørstavik will be in conversation with Rebecca Dinerstein Knight at Scandinavia House. The event will stream live on Zoom. \nYou can find the link to register for the event here. \nWith the publication of The Pastor\, “Ørstavik distinguishes herself as a leading light in international literature\,” Publishers Weekly wrote. \nMartin Aitken’s translation of Ørstavik’s novel Love was published by Archipelago in 2018 to critical acclaim. Claire Vaye Watkins of The New York Times Book Review called it an “excellent novel of near misses . . . Ørstavik’s mastery of perspective and clean\, crackling sentences prevent sentimentality or sensationalism from trailing this story of a woman and her accidentally untended child. Both of them long for love\, but the desire lines of the book are beautifully crooked.” \nOn translating Love\, Aitken wrote\, “Hanne’s deceptively uncomplicated prose is an exacting task for any translator. Everything’s below the surface. There’s a lightness of touch to her sentences\, and a movingly human insight that makes the writing as luminous as the snow of northern Norway where the book is set.” \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. Since then\, the author has written several acclaimed and much discussed novels and received a host of literary prizes. \n\nRebecca Dinerstein Knight is the author of novels Hex and The Sunlit Night\, and a bilingual English-Norwegian collection of poems\, Lofoten. Her screenplay adaptation of The Sunlit Night premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and is now a major motion picture. Knight has reviewed restaurants for The Village Voice and novels for The New York Times Book Review\, and her essays have appeared online in The New Yorker\, The Paris Review\, and The New York Times\, among others. A former host of the Lillehammer Literary Festival\, she has spent a decade directing English-Norwegian creative projects. \nFor more information and to register\, please follow the link here. \n
