SUMMARY:Angela Rodel & David Ulin at Book Soup (Los Angeles\, CA)
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear Angela Rodel discuss her new translation of Ivailo Petrov’s Wolf Hunt with David Ulin\, author and former book critic of the Los Angeles Times\, at Book Soup in Los Angeles\, CA. \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. \nDavid L. Ulin is the former book critic of the Los Angeles Times. A 2015 Guggenheim Fellow\, he is the author or editor of nine books\, including Sidewalking: Coming to Terms with Los Angeles\, the novella Labyrinth\, The Lost Art of Reading: Why Books Matter in a Distracted Time and the Library of America’s Writing Los Angeles: A Literary Anthology\, which won a California Book Award. He left The Times in 2015. \n

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.

This workshop hosted by Elsewhere Editions in participation with the French Embassy and Albertine will be a playful and creative session for kids to read and interact with Ponti’s captivating fictional universe created through wordplay and illustrations of incredible detail and beauty. \n“A mix of comical vignettes and broad vistas illustrate an account of the lives and misadventures of a clan of tiny Twims.” \n— Kirkus Reviews\, Starred Review \n“Ponti’s beautiful\, intricate illustrations contain strange details hinting at larger stories. 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.

He has since won numerous awards\, including the 2006 Prix Sorcières Spécial for his lifetime achievement. \n“Children’s literature is an intimate soul-to-soul exchange between the reader and the author.” – Claude Ponti \n\n\nAlyson Waters is a translator of modern and contemporary literary fiction\, criticism\, and theory\, as well as art history. Her book translations include works by Vassilis Alexakis\, Louis Aragon\, Daniel Arasse\, René Belletto\, Reda Bensmaia\, Emmanuel Bove\, Eric Chevillard\, Albert Cossery\, Yasmina Khadra\, and Tzvetan Todorov.

SUMMARY:Raymond P. Scheindlin Lecture on His Translation of Solomon Ibn Gabirol's "Vulture in a Cage"
DESCRIPTION:  \nAuthor and Translator Raymond P. Scheindlin will present his new translation of Vulture in a Cage\, and discuss its original author\, Solomon Ibn Gabirol who is one of the most celebrated Andalusian-Hebrew poets and philosophers of the 11th century. Weighty poems of praise\, lament\, and complaint sit alongside devotional poetry\, love poetry\, descriptive meditations on nature\, and epigrams. Obsessed with the impediments of the body and the material world\, Ibn Gabirol ambitiously dreamed of breaking through corporeal constraints and launching his soul into the realm of the intellect. Ibn Gabirol created a style that was in conflict with the esthetics of his age but that feels quite at home in our own. \nRaymond P. Scheindlin is a renowned expert on Hebrew literature in its Golden Age and a master translator of biblical and medieval Hebrew poetry. A professor of Medieval Hebrew Literature at The Jewish Theological Seminary and director of JTS’s Shalom Spiegel Institute of Medieval Hebrew Poetry\, Dr. Scheindlin has been a Guggenheim Fellow (1988) and a fellow of the Cullman Center of the New York Public Library (2005-2006). He is also a member of the editorial boards of the journals Jewish Quarterly Review and Near Eastern Literatures. He received the Cultural Achievement Award of the National Society for Jewish Culture in 2004.

SUMMARY:Scholastique Mukasonga with Hisham Matar at 92Y
DESCRIPTION:Scholastique Mukasonga\, whose highly anticipated memoir Cockroaches is out in October\, will be joined by the writer Hisham Matar at 92Y in New York City on November 7th at 8 PM for a conversation focused on the authors’ experiences with violence and exile and how it informs and shapes their work\, specifically the memoir form.  The event will take place in the Buttenweiser Hall\, and tickets start from $15. \nRead more about the event and purchase tickets on the 92Y website. \nEnjoy an excerpt of Cockroaches\, translated from the French by Jordan Stump\, on the Tin House blog here. \nRead a piece Hisham Matar wrote for The New Yorker here. \n  \n \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 two years before the brutal genocide of the Tutsi swept through Rwanda. In the aftermath\, Mukasonga learned that 27 of her family members had been massacred. Twelve years later\, Gallimard published her autobiographical account Inyenzi ou les Cafards\, which marked Mukasonga’s entry into literature. This was followed by the publication of La femme aux pieds nus in 2008 and L’Iguifou in 2010\, both widely praised. Her first novel\, Notre-Dame du Nil\, won the Ahmadou Kourouma prize and the Renaudot prize in 2012\, as well as the 2013 Océans France Ô prize\, and the 2014 French Voices Award\, and was shortlisted for the 2016 International Dublin Literary award.  Cockroaches is slated for release in October 2016. \n  \n \nHisham Matar (Arabic: هشام مطر‎‎) (born 1970) is a Libyan writer. His debut novel In the Country of Men was shortlisted for the 2006 Man Booker Prize. Matar’s essays have appeared in the Asharq Alawsat\, The Independent\,The Guardian\, The Times and The New York Times. His second novel\, Anatomy of a Disappearance\, was published on 3 March 2011.  Hisham Matar’s new memoir is The Return — “a riveting book about love and hope\, but also a moving meditation on grief and loss\,” wrote Colm Tóibín. “It draws a memorable portrait of a family in exile and manages also to explore the politics of Libya with subtlety and steely intelligence. It is likely to become a classic.” He currently lives and writes in London.

SUMMARY:Scholastique Mukasonga at Festival Albertine 2016
DESCRIPTION:Scholastique Mukasonga\, author of the award-winning Our Lady of the Nile and the freshly released memoir Cockroaches\, will join Laurent Dubois\, Maboula Soumahoro\, Darryl Pinckney\, and Chris Jackson for a panel discussion titled “Europe and America in the Black Literary Imagination” as part of the Festival Albertine 2016 taking place at the French Embassy of New York City at 5 PM Saturday\, November 5th.  The event is free and open to the public\, but seating is limited. \nFrom the event’s website… \n“This panel will look at how black authors on both sides of the ocean have engaged the country and culture on the other side. Is France an escape for black authors? Is America the land of individual expression and opportunity? After the Second World War\, prominent African-American authors such as Richard Wright\, James Baldwin and Chester Himes made Paris their home. French authors have themselves long been fascinated by the United States\, and New York in particular. This common interest has fed many authors’ writing\, both thematically and stylistically. The essayists and novelist Laurent Dubois\, Maboula Soumahoro\, Darryl Pinckney and Scholastique Mukasonga will reflect on this mutual fascination and ponder how it has impacted their own work and influenced literature more broadly. But how substantive is this connection—is it myth or reality?” \nLaurent Dubois is a professor of romance studies and history and the faculty director of the Forum for Scholars & Publics at Duke University. He is the author of six books\, including Avengers of the New World\,Haiti: The Aftershocks of History and The Banjo: America’s African Instrument. \nScholastique Mukasonga fled Rwanda and settled in France two years before the Tutsi genocide\, in which she lost 27 of her family members. She is the author of three autobiographical works: Cockroaches\, La femme aux pieds nus (Barefoot Woman) and L’Iguifou. Her novel Our Lady of the Nile won the Ahmadou Kourouma and Renaudot prizes. \nDarryl Pinckney\, a longtime contributor to The New York Review of Books\, is the author of one novel\, High Cotton\, and two nonfiction works\, Blackballed: The Black Vote and US Democracy and Out There: Mavericks of Black Literature. He has collaborated with Robert Wilson on an adaption of Daniil Kharm’sThe Old Woman.\n\nMaboula Soumahoro\, Ph.D. is an associate professor at the Université de Tours François-Rabelais and president of the Black History Month association. Her research focuses topics including the African diaspora and Atlantic black nationalisms. She has taught at Barnard College of Columbia University\, the Paris Institute of Political Science\, and Bennington College—where she is Visiting Faculty in 2016-2017—among other institutions. \nChris Jackson is a vice president of Spiegel & Grau and the editor and publisher of Random House’s One World imprint. Jackson was the editor of Ta-Nehisi Coates’sBetween the World and Me and has edited leading authors whose works speak to African-American and Caribbean experiences\, including Edwidge Danticat\, Jill Leovy and Jay-Z. \nThis event is part of Festival Albertine 2016. All events are free and open to the public. Seating is limited and available on a first come\, first served basis. \nFestival Albertine is made possible with major support from The Recanati-Kaplan Foundation\, the Ford Foundation\, Susannah Hunnewell\, Air France\, Van Cleef & Arpels\, Institut français\, and the Center for Ballet and the Arts at New York University. Generous support is provided by Champagne Pommery and The Carlyle. \n

SUMMARY:Peter Wortsman in Conversation with Geoffrey O'Brien about Konundrum: Selected Prose of Franz Kafka
DESCRIPTION:Peter Wortsman\, whose translations of selections of Franz Kafka were just highly praised by the BBC\, will be joined by poet Geoffrey O’Brien to discuss the new release and muse on all things literary\, artistic\, and Kafkaesque at Community Bookstore in Brooklyn October 20th\, 2016 at 7 pm.  \nKonundrum: Selected Prose of Franz Kafka gathers new translations of stories\, journals\, and letters by the famous author. Jane Ciabattari of the BBC wrote that Kafka’s writings are still “powerfully resonant today\,” and she went on to say that Wortsman’s selection of pieces gives us both “a fresh look at classics like The Hunger Artist\, In the Penal Colony\, and Josephine\, Our Meistersinger\,” and new and fresh “surprises like Poseidon.” \nDon’t miss out on what is sure to be a great event. \n  \n \nphoto credit: Ricky Owens \nPeter Wortsman was a Fulbright Fellow in 1973\, a Thomas J.

SUMMARY:Maja Haderlap speaks at Harvard
DESCRIPTION:Join Maja Haderlap\, author of Angel of Oblivion\, for a lecture hosted by the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University! \n \nMaja Haderlap is an Austrian-Slovene novelist\, poet\, playwright\, and Translator. She studied German language and literature at the University of Vienna and has a PhD in Theatre Studies. She was awarded the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize\, the Ravensburger Verlag Foundation Prize\, and France’s First Novel Prize for her debut novel Engel des Vergessens (Angel of Oblivion). \nAngel of Oblivion is based on the experiences of Maja Haderlap’s family and the Slovenian-speaking minority in southern Austria\, many of whom fought as partisans against the Nazis during the Second World War. The story centers on the experiences of a young girl learning to navigate the terrain between two hostile communities and two extremely burdened languages: Slovenian\, a language of heroic resistance and continued humiliation\, and German\, an escape from her stifling rural upbringing but also the language of the camps which her grandmother barely survived and many other family members didn’t. Engaging with themes of tolerance and integration of minority communities\, the burden of history\, the effects of conflicts on survivors and their children\, and language’s role in shaping identity\, Haderlap’s novel strikes at problems of paramount importance to our world today. Translated from the German by Tess Lewis\, Angel of Oblivion is forthcoming from Archipelago Books in August 2016. \n  \nArchipelago Books would like to thank the Austrian Cultural Forum for making this event a reality through their generous efforts and collaboration.

SUMMARY:Meet & Greet with Maja Haderlap and Tess Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Come join us and the Austrian Cultural Forum for a meet & greet with Maja Haderlap and Tess Lewis\, author and translator of the award-winning Angel of Oblivion. The event will take place on Wednesday September 14th at 8:00pm on the rooftop of the Austrian Cultural Forum New York. More information is available here. \nAngel of Oblivion is based on the experiences of Maja Haderlap’s family and the Slovenian-speaking minority in southern Austria\, many of whom fought as partisans against the Nazis during the Second World War. The story centers on the experiences of a young girl learning to navigate the terrain between two hostile communities and two extremely burdened languages: Slovenian\, a language of heroic resistance and continued humiliation\, and German\, an escape from her stifling rural upbringing but also the language of the camps which her grandmother barely survived and many other family members didn’t. Engaging with themes of tolerance and integration of minority communities\, the burden of history\, the effects of conflicts on survivors and their children\, and language’s role in shaping identity\, Haderlap’s novel strikes at problems of paramount importance to our world today.
