In 2019\, The Barefoot Woman was a finalist for the 2019 National Book Award for Translated Literature. \nKaiama L. Glover received a B.A. in French History and Literature and Afro-American Studies from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in French and Romance Philology from Columbia University. She is now an associate professor of French at Barnard College. Her book\, Haiti Unbound: A Spiralist Challenge to the Postcolonial Canon\, explores the Haitian Spiralist movement.

SUMMARY:Ivan Vladislavić in conversation with Peter Godwin
DESCRIPTION:On October 15th at 6:30pm EDT\, Ivan Vladislavić joins Community Bookstore to present his new novel The Distance\, 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. He diligently scrapbooks newspaper clippings of his his hero\, recording the showman’s words and taking in his inimitable brand of resistance. Forty years later\, digging out his yellowed archive of Ali clippings and comic books\, Joe sets out to write a memoir of his childhood. Calling upon his brother Branko for help\, their two voices interweave to unearth a shared past. 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. Meaning arises in the gaps between fact and imagination\, and words themselves become markers of the past and the turbulent present. 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. \nIvan Vladislavić was born in Pretoria in 1957 and lives in Johannesburg\, where he works as a writer and editor. His books include the novels The Restless Supermarket\, The Exploded View and Double Negative\, and a compendium of short stories titled Flashback Hotel.

He has edited books on architecture and art\, and sometimes works with artists and photographers. TJ/Double Negative\, a joint project with photographer David Goldblatt\, received the 2011 Kraszna-Krausz Award for best photography book. His work has also won the Sunday Times Fiction Prize\, the Alan Paton Award\, the University of Johannesburg Prize\, and\, most recently\, a 2015 Windham Campbell Prize for fiction. \nPeter Godwin is an award-winning author and journalist. Born and raised in Zimbabwe\, he was a foreign correspondent for the Sunday Times and a founding presenter and writer of Assignment/Correspondent\, BBC television’s premier foreign affairs program.

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.

SUMMARY:Maureen Shaughnessy at Word Up Bookshop
DESCRIPTION:Maureen Shaughnessy discusses her latest translation\, The Scent of Buenos Aires by Hebe Uhart. \n  \nMaureen Shaughnessy’s translations have been published by World Literature Today\, Words Without Borders\, Asymptote and The Antioch Review. Her translation of Hebe Uhart’s selected stories\, The Scent of Buenos Aires\, is forthcoming from Archipelago Books in October 2019. She lives in Bariloche\, Argentina. \nHebe Uhart’s stories sneak up on you. Refreshingly approachable\, they are punctuated by street talk and saturated with a cryptic wit that recalls Lydia Davis. In The Scent of Buenos Aires\, Uhart renders moments at the zoo\, the hair salon\, or a homeowners association meeting with delightfully eccentric insight. These stories cast an unusual\, intimate light on the inner lives of plants\, animals\, and humans\, magnifying the minute\, everyday quirks of Argentina’s small towns: a cat curls around his owner to humor him\, a classroom of children sway like trees when their teacher turns her back. Smiling to herself\, Uhart reveals the infinite ways we show ourselves to one another. \nA remarkable traveler and observer\, Uhart pays close attention to the way people speak\, how they move\, and how they remain still. Considered to be one of the greatest contemporary Argentine writers\, Uhart won the Manuel Rojas Iberian-American Award for literature in 2017. The Scent of Buenos Aires is the first collection of Uhart’s to be published in English\, and Maureen Shaughnessy’s translation perfectly captures Uhart’s extraordinary world\, one dappled with iridescent ivy and the small epiphanies of ordinary souls.
