SUMMARY:Christine Angot at Maison Francaise
DESCRIPTION:Join French author Christine Angot at the Columbia Maison Francaise in conversation with Professor Elisabeth Ladenson about her work\, including her latest book Incest\, translated by Tess Lewis.\n\n\nChristine Angot is one of the most controversial authors writing today in France.

Her subsequent novels have dealt with a variety of taboo topics\, including homosexuality\, incest\, and sexual violence\, and have continually blurred the line between autobiography and fiction. Ever since gaining widespread notoriety with the 1999 publication of Incest\, Angot has remained at the center of public debate and has continued to push the boundaries of what society allows an author to express.

SUMMARY:Angela Rodel\, translator of Wolf Hunt\, at the Bulgarian Consulate
DESCRIPTION:Angela Rodel will read from and discuss her translation of Ivailo Petrov’s Wolf Hunt at the Bulgarian Consulate in New York\, New York. She will be introduced by Dimitar Kambourov\, Associate Professor of Literary Theory and Comparative Literature at Sofia University. Join us for what is sure to be an evening of wonderful conversation! \nPublished in 1986\, three years before the fall of the Berlin Wall\, Wolf Hunt was the first novel to portray the human cost of Communist policies on Bulgarian villagers\, forced by the government to abandon their land and traditional way of life. Darkly comic and tragic\, the novel centers on an ill-fated winter hunting expedition of six neighbors whose long and interwoven shared history comes to light in a voyage of shifting perspectives. Petrov’s narrative technique is reminiscent of Faulkner and Kurosawa’s Roshomon\, giving the reader access to the inner lives of the six main characters as they are inextricably pulled into further conflict with each other. Enveloping the individual conflicts between the characters is the conflict between two forces: traditional agrarian values and the atheistic and supposedly egalitarian values of Soviet communism. The eponymous wolf hunt is supposed to heal long-standing grudges between the characters\, but in the end\, it only serves as an opportunity to exact revenge. One of the foremost works of Bulgarian literature of the past century\, Wolf Hunt places the calamitous history of twentieth-century Bulgaria into a human context of helplessness and desperation. \nAngela Rodel is a literary translator. In 1996 she was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to study Bulgarian at Sofia University. She returned to Bulgaria on a Fulbright-Hays Fellowship in 2004 and now lives in Sofia. In 2010\, she received a translation grant from the American PEN for Holy Light\, a collection of stories by Georgi Tenev. \n

His writing has appeared in the New York Times\, the New Yorker\, the New York Review of Books and the London Review of Books. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMartina Broner has previously translated the work of Antonio Muñoz Molina\, including his piece “The Lighthouse at the End of the Hudson” for The Hudson Review. She has published two books of fiction\, Abundancia de cielo (DíazGrey Editores) and El ruido de la fiesta (Editorial Mancha de Aceite). She has received the Tribeca Film Institute’s VOCES Award and the Humanities New York Public Humanities Fellowship.

SUMMARY:Kaiama L. Glover in conversation with Edwidge Danticat
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at Books and Books for a conversation between translator Kaiama L. Glover and writer Edwidge Danticat about Dance on the Volcano\, by Marie Vieux-Chauvet. \nMadison Smartt-Bell says\, “With what’s going on racially and politically in the United States today\, now is an excellent time for this masterpiece novel to appear in English – and in a translation which does full justice to the great beauty of Chauvet’s prose.” \nSet in late-18th century Haiti\, Dance on the Volcano follows the extraordinary career of Minette\, who uses her prodigious voice to cross racial barriers. Her talent brings her an opportunity to perform at the Theater of Port-au-Prince\, an honor previously reserved only for whites. However\, once the curtain falls she finds herself back to life as normal. Praised but unpaid\, applauded but shut out\, Minette develops a political and racial conscience that that will not rest as long as slavery still exists on the island. Her involvement soon leads her to butt heads with the man she loves\, a free black man as cruel to his slaves as many white landholders\, and to cross paths with the future heroes of the revolution. \n \nKaiama L. Glover is the translator of Ready to Burst by Frankétienne and Dance on the Volcano by Marie Vieux-Chauvet. She 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. She sits on the editorial boards of the Romanic Review andSmall Axe and regularly contributes to The New York Times Book Review.  \n \nEdwidge Danticat is a writer and editor born in Port-au-Prince. Her parents separately moved to the United States\, and Danticat followed them there at the age of 12. Danticat grew up speaking French and Creole and she spoke no English upon arriving in the U.S. However\, after only two years\, she began writing in English and is now the accomplished author of over a dozen books\, including the novel Breath\, Eyes\, Memory; the story collection Krik? Krak!; The Farming of the Bones; and Behind the Mountains. Danticat currently lives in New York and teaches Creative Writing at New York University.

The guileless narrative sounds like it came directly from the brain of a child with a vivid imagination\, and fanciful kids drawn by the enchanting artwork might find their own imaginations sparked by this odd\, playful French import.” \n— Booklist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClaude Ponti is one of France’s most celebrated children’s writers and illustrators.

SUMMARY:Kaiama L. Glover in conversation with Edwidge Danticat at Albertine
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at Albertine for a conversation between translator Kaiama L. Glover and writer Edwidge Danticat about Dance on the Volcano\, by Marie Vieux-Chauvet. \nMadison Smartt-Bell says\, “With what’s going on racially and politically in the United States today\, now is an excellent time for this masterpiece novel to appear in English – and in a translation which does full justice to the great beauty of Chauvet’s prose.” \nSet in late-18th century Haiti\, Dance on the Volcano follows the extraordinary career of Minette\, who uses her prodigious voice to cross racial barriers. Her talent brings her an opportunity to perform at the Theater of Port-au-Prince\, an honor previously reserved only for whites. However\, once the curtain falls she finds herself back to life as normal. Praised but unpaid\, applauded but shut out\, Minette develops a political and racial conscience that that will not rest as long as slavery still exists on the island. Her involvement soon leads her to butt heads with the man she loves\, a free black man as cruel to his slaves as many white landholders\, and to cross paths with the future heroes of the revolution. \n \nKaiama L. Glover is the translator of Ready to Burst by Frankétienne and Dance on the Volcano by Marie Vieux-Chauvet. She 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. She sits on the editorial boards of the Romanic Review and Small Axe and regularly contributes to The New York Times Book Review.  \n \nEdwidge Danticat is a writer and editor born in Port-au-Prince. Her parents separately moved to the United States\, and Danticat followed them there at the age of 12. Danticat grew up speaking French and Creole and she spoke no English upon arriving in the U.S. However\, after only two years\, she began writing in English and is now the accomplished author of over a dozen books\, including the novel Breath\, Eyes\, Memory; the story collection Krik? Krak!; The Farming of the Bones; and Behind the Mountains. Danticat currently lives in New York and teaches Creative Writing at New York University.
