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

I believe that Acrobat is a book that will rescue us and be loved around the world.” \nNandana Dev Sen is a writer\, actor\, and child-rights activist.

SUMMARY:Nandana Dev Sen in conversation with David Ouimet at Community Bookstore
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, July 13th at 7:30 PM EST for a virtual reading and conversation with Nandana Dev Sen and David Ouimet hosted by Community Bookstore! They’ll discuss Acrobat\, a collection of Nandana Dev Sen’s translations of her mother\, Nabaneeta Dev Sen’s poems\, published on May 11th. \nAcrobat is a radiant collection of poetry about womanhood\, intimacy\, and the body politic that together evokes the arc of an ordinary life. Nabaneeta Dev Sen’s rhythmic lines explore the joys and agonies of first love\, childbirth\, and decay with a restless\, tactile imagination\, both picking apart and celebrating the rituals that make us human. When she warns\, “know that blood can be easily drawn by lips\,” her words tune to the fierce and biting depths of language\, to the “treachery that lingers on tongue tips.” At once compassionate and unsparing\, conversational and symphonic\, these poems tell of a rope shivering beneath an acrobat’s nimble feet or of a twisted\, blood-soaked umbilical cord – they pluck the invisible threads that bind us together. \nDavid Ouimet is the author and illustrator of the award-winning Children’s book I Go Quiet\, and the forthcoming companion\, I Get Loud. I Go Quiet was the winner of the 2020 East Sussex Children’s Book Award\, and has been shortlisted for the 2021 Kate Greenaway Medal. An artist and musician\, Ouimet is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design\, and his work has been featured on album covers\, books\, and magazines\, and has been exhibited at the Museum of American Illustration. He has scored music for film\, recorded and appeared on numerous records\, and performed throughout the world.\nNandana Dev Sen is a writer\, actor\, and child-rights activist. She has written six children’s books (translated into more than 15 languages globally)\, and starred in 20 feature films (from four continents\, in numerous languages). She has represented UNICEF\, RAHI and the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights to fight against child abuse\, and to end human trafficking. Winner of the Last Girl Champion Award (and multiple Best Actress Awards)\, Nandana is Child Protection Ambassador for Save the Children India and is active on Facebook\, Instagram\, and Twitter.

SUMMARY:Robert Croll and Alejandro de Acosta at Malaprop's
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, June 22nd at 6 PM EST for a conversation between Robert Croll and Alejandro de Acosta\, hosted by Malaprop’s Bookstore! They’ll discuss Croll’s translation of Animals\, a collection of Hebe Uhart’s cronicas\, published on June 22nd. \nHebe Uhart’s 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 and sweetness that marks all of Uhart’s work. Animals is a joyous reordering of attention towards the beings with whom we share the planet. In prose that tracks the goings on of creatures who care little what we do or say\, a refreshing humility emerges\, and with it a newfound pleasure in the everyday. Watching a whistling heron\, Uhart writes\, “that rebellious crest gives it a lunatic air.” Birds in the park and dogs in the street will hold a different interest after reading Uhart’s blissful foray into playful zoology. \n\nRobert Croll is a writer\, translator\, and artist originally from Asheville\, North Carolina. He first came to translation while studying at Amherst College\, where he focused on the short fiction of Julio Cortázar. Along with Animals\, Croll has recently translated Gustavo Roldan’s picture book Juan Hormiga\, published by Elsewhere Editions\, the children’s imprint of Archipelago Books. He is also the translator of several works by Ricardo Piglia including The Diaries of Emilio Renzi\, published by Restless Books. \nAlejandro de Acosta is a teacher\, writer\, and translator\, in no particular order; he also works in publishing. In Austin\, Texas he founded mufa::poema\, a micropress that freely distributed a dozen poetry and prose chapbooks. His poetry translations include Micrograms by Jorge Carrera Andrade and Five Meters of Poems by Carlos Oquendo de Amat. He teaches creative writing in the low-residency MFA program at the Pacific Northwest College of Art—and elsewhere. \n\n
