SUMMARY:Michael Biggins speaking on Newcomers: Book Two with Seattle's Folio
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 22\, at 6:30PM PDT / 9:30PM EST\, Folio will host translator Michael Biggins to speak on Book Two of Lojze Kovačič’s Newcomers. Tickets for the event are $10\, available for purchase here. The event will stream live on Zoom. \n \nMichael Biggins is responsible as translator for a number of the classics of twentieth-century Slovenian literature published in English\, including Slovenia’s internationally best-selling novel of all time\, Vladimir Bartol’s Alamut (Scala House 2004\, reissued by North Atlantic 2007). In 2021 he became the first non-Slovenian recipient of the Primož Trubar Award for lifelong contributions to advancing and preserving Slovenia’s written cultural heritage. President of the international Society for Slovene Studies since 2017\, and Honorary Consul of Slovenia for Washington State since 2018\, he lives in Seattle and teaches Slovenian language and literature\, as well as Slavic to English literary translation at the University of Washington. He works as curator of the University library’s nationally significant collection of over a half million volumes\, in more than twenty languages\, across the spectrum of Slavic and East European studies. \nLojze Kovačič was born in Basel in 1928 to a German mother and Slovenian father. In 1938 the family was exiled to Slovenia\, where Kovačič lived until his death in 2004. Considered to be one of Slovenia’s most significant authors of the 20th century\, his works often relate to his own life and are constantly concerned with existential topics like life and death\, displacement and exile\, dream and reality. He has been compared to great Central European writers such as Danilo Kis\, Sandor Marai\, Imre Kertész and Ismail Kadaré. His work\, which has now been rediscovered in several countries\, consists of ten novels\, novellas\, essays and children’s books.

SUMMARY:Ivan Vladislavić in conversation with Peter Godwin

This event will take place on zoom\, you can register here. \nIn his youth in 1970s suburban Pretoria\, Joe falls in love with Muhammad Ali.

Reconstructing a world of bioscopes\, Formica tabletops\, Ovaltine\, and drop-offs in their father’s Ford Zephyr\, conjuring the textures of childhood\, The Distance is a collision of memories\, patching the gulf between past and present.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Ivan Vladislavić at the Brooklyn Book Festival
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nOn October 4th at 2pm EST\, Ivan Vladislavić will be featured on the Brooklyn Book Festival’s virtual webinar “Coming of Age in Challenging Times.” \nRegister here.\nChildhood can seem to exist in a bubble\, defined by the rituals of family and home. But outside pressures are never far off. In Romesh Gunesekera’s Suncatcher\, a young boy in 1960s Sri Lanka revels in the thrill of the make-believe\, while gradually becoming aware of the social and religious forces that threaten to divide the country. The protagonist of Ivan Vladislavić’s The Distance obsessively follows the career of boxing great Muhammad Ali in 1970s Pretoria\, his hero-worship a form of defiance in apartheid-era South Africa. And in Suneeta Peres da Costa’s Saudade\, the daughter of an Indian immigrant family in 1960s Angola learns to recognize the rumblings of a growing independence movement and end of colonial privilege. How are these different coming-of-ages marked by their own time and place\, and what do they have in common? Moderated by Eric Banks\, Director of the New York Institute for the Humanities. \nThe Distance takes place in 1970s suburban Pretoria\, during a pivotal decade in South African history of growing resistance to apartheid. Joe falls in love with Muhammad Ali. Diligently scrapbooking newspaper clippings of his hero\, he records and imbibes the showman’s inimitable brand of resistance. In this formally inventive\, fragmented novel\, Vladislavić evokes the beauty and the strangeness of remembering and forgetting\, and explores what it means to be at odds with one’s surroundings.

SUMMARY:Children’s Literature in Translation: Lawrence Schimel and Daniel Hahn
DESCRIPTION:1:30 pm EDT \nJoin PEN America\, the Center for the Humanities\, and the Cullman Center for Week 4 of Translating the Future as they continue their series of conversations between renowned translators with “Children’s Literature in Translation\,” featuring Lawrence Schimel in conversation with Daniel Hahn. Moderated by Lyn Miller-Lachmann. \nTranslators of children’s literature—always read by both adults and children—face various unique challenges\, including the potential for bi- or multilingualism\, the incorporation of illustrations\, and differing cultural taboos or views of what is and isn’t appropriate for children. Many classics of children’s literature (The Little Prince\, Pippi Longstockings\, the Grimm & Andersen fairy tales\, etc.) are read in translation\, even if they’re not treated as such the way adult books in translation would be. Are translators of works for children “translating for the future” by helping them to develop empathy and learn about other cultures in our globally connected world\, or are they simply sharing universal stories full of delight and emotion that hopefully create lifelong readers? \nThe link to the livestream can be found on Howlround.com. Free and open to the public\, the livestream will start at Tuesday\, June 2nd\, at 1:30 pm (EDT). \nThe conversations will be hosted by Esther Allen & Allison Markin Powell. Viewers can submit questions during the livestreaming at translatingthefuture2020@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Roger Mello at the IBBY Regional Conference
DESCRIPTION:Roger Mello and David Wiesner speak to SCBWI members about international competitions. \nRoger Mello has illustrated over 100 titles – 22 of which he also wrote – and his unique style and adroit sense of color continues to push the boundaries of children’s book illustration. Rather than relying on written narrative to tell the story\, Mello invites his young readers to fill the gaps with imagination. Mello has won numerous awards for writing and illustrating\, including three of IBBY’s Luis Jardim Awards\, the Best Children’s Book 2002 International Award\, and the 2014 Hans Christian Andersen Award. \nCharcoal Boys is a poetic and sensitive portrait of a child living under difficult circumstances. Charcoal Boys offers a unique perspective on the life of a young boy working in Brazil’s charcoal mines: that of a wasp who follows the child throughout his day. Through the wasp we observe the hardships the little boy faces\, from his work at the furnaces to his relationships with the other workers. \n  \nThis event is held through the 13th IBBY Regional Conference.
