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:Maja Haderlap speaks at NYU
DESCRIPTION:Deutsches Haus at NYU presents a reading by the author and current writer-in-residence at Deutsches Haus at NYU\, Maja Haderlap\, from her recent novel Angel of Oblivion\, followed by a conversation with the acclaimed translator of the book\, Tess Lewis.\n\nMaja Haderlap’s Angel of Oblivion is based on the experiences of her 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. \n“In her novel Angel of Oblivion\, Maja Haderlap conducts a battle with the horror pictures of her childhood that is both impressive and oppressive… the act of writing down these memories was a means of liberation. … Maja Haderlap succeeds in creating vivid scenes of an archaic landscape and its rural way of life. One can sense she is a poet.”\n— Die Zeit\n \n\nMaja Haderlap\, born in Eisenkappel/Zelezna Kapla (Austria)\, studied theatre studies and German at the University of Vienna.

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.

SUMMARY:A Celebration of Dulce María Loynaz\, with James O'Connor & Pablo Medina
DESCRIPTION:Absolute Solitude is the first major English-language translation of the prose-poetry of Dulce María Loynaz\, one of Cuba’s most popular poets\, who Juan Ramón Jiménez described as “archaic and new\, a phosphorescent reality of her own incredibly human poetry\, her fresh language\, tender\, weightless\, rich in abandon.” Elevating solitude to ecstatic heights\, Loynaz creates a picture of landscapes and private emotion\, where the physical\, spiritual\, and visionary realms of poetry meet. Translator James O’Connor and Cuban writer Pablo Medina join us to discuss the work and legacy of this luminous Spanish-language poet. \n  \nAbout James O’Connor: \nJames O’Connor is a poet\, playwright\, and translator. He lived in Cuba from 1999-2000 and his translations of Loynaz have been published in literary magazines in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

SUMMARY:Reading and Reception with Christos Ikonomou and Karen Emmerich At Boston University
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reading and conversation with Greek writer Christos Ikonomou and translator Karen Emmerich. Ikonomou will read from and discuss his short story collection\, Something Will Happen\, You’ll See (Polis Editions\, 2010)—a wrenching yet optimistic elegy to Greece’s working classes. The collection was the most reviewed Greek book of 2010 and the recipient of the prestigious Best Short-Story Collection State Award. It has been translated into six languages and is being published in the U.S by Archipelago in March\, 2016. \nChristos Ikonomou was born in Athens in 1970. He has published two earlier collections of short stories\, The Woman on the Rails (2003) and Something Will Happen\, You’ll See (2010). Described by Italy’s La Repubblica as “the Greek Faulkner\,” Ikonomou writes with profound sensibility\, deep humanism and astute foresight about the human condition using the Greek economic crisis as a backdrop. \nKaren Emmerich’s translations from the Greek include books by Margarita Karapanou\, Amanda Michalopoulou\, Sophia Nikolaidou\, Ersi Sotiropoulos\, and Vassilis Vassilikos. Her translation of Miltos Sachtouris for Archipelago was nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award in Poetry and her translation of Yannis Ritsos’s Diaries of Exile with Edmund Keeley won the 2014 PEN Literary Award. She teaches at Princeton University. \nThis year’s European Voices events are organized in collaboration with the literary journal AGNI and the Goethe-Institut Boston and are taking place as part of EU Futures\, a series of conversations exploring the emerging future in Europe. The EU Futures project is supported by a Getting to Know Europe Grant from the European Commission Delegation in Washington\, DC to the Center for the Study of Europe at Boston University. Christos Ikonomou’s visit is co-sponsored by the Modern Greek Program at Boston University. \nFree and open to the public. Reception and book-signing to follow. \nLocation: 225 Bay State Road Boston\, MA 02215

SUMMARY:European Voices: A Reading & Conversation with Christos Ikonomou
DESCRIPTION:Christos Ikonomou will read from and discuss his short story collection\, Something Will Happen You’ll See. \n  \n \nIkonomou’s stories convey the plight of those worst affected by the Greek economic crisis– laid-off workers\, hungry children. In the urban sprawl between Athens and Piraeus\, the narratives roam restlessly through the impoverished working-class quarters located off the tourist routes…In Ikonomou’s concrete streets\, the rain is always looming\, the politicians’ slogans are ignored\, and the police remain a violent\, threatening presence offstage. Yet even at the edge of destitution\, his men and women act for themselves\, trying to preserve what little solidarity remains in a deeply atomized society\, and in one way or another finding their own voice. There is faith here\, deep faith– though little or none in those who habitually ask for it. \n  \n \n  \nChristos Ikonomou was born in 1970. He has published two collections of short stories\, The Woman On the Rails (2003)\, and Something Will Happen\, You’ll See (2010). Something Will Happen\, You’ll See won the prestigious Best Short Story Collection State Award and became the most reviewed Greek book of 2011.

SUMMARY:Lusophone Voices: A Reading & Conversation with José Eduardo Agualusa
DESCRIPTION:José Eduardo Agualusa will read from and discuss his book\, A General Theory of Oblivion. \n  \n \n  \nOn the eve of Angolan independence\, an agoraphobic woman named Ludo bricks herself into her Luandan apartment for 30 years\, living off vegetables and the pigeons she lures in with diamonds\, burning her furniture and books to stay alive and writing her story on the apartment’s walls. \nAlmost as if we’re eavesdropping\, the history of Angola unfolds through the stories of those she sees from her window. \n  \n José Eduardo Agualusa (born 1960) is an Angolan writer. He studied agronomy and forestry in Lisbon before starting his writing career as a poet. His novel Creole was awarded the Portuguese Grand Prize for Literature\, and he recently received the U.K.’s Independent Foreign Fiction Prize in the U.K. for The Book of Chameleons. He lives in Luanda and Lisbon.

SUMMARY:UK Launch for  The Child Poet
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the Swedenborg Society to celebrate the UK launch of The Child Poet by Homero Aridjis\, translated from the Spanish by Chloe Aridjis. A conversation between Homero and Chloe will be moderated by writer and translator Daniel Hahn. \n  \nTold in a series of interconnected vignettes\, The Child Poet provides a portrait of Aridjis in his pre-poet years\, at a time when each day in his native Contepec\, Michoacán formed part of a personal mythology. The work was particular of significance to translator Chloe Aridjis as it gave her insight into her father’s childhood and the beginning of his life as a poet\, which would have otherwise been inaccessible. \n \nHomero Aridjis has published over forty works of poetry and prose\, including 1492: The Life and Times of Juan Cabezon of Castile. Twice elected president of International PEN\, he is also considered one of Latin America’s leading environmentalists. \n  \n  \n  \n \nChloe Aridjis has produced a collection of essays as well as two novels\, including Book of Clouds in 2009\, which was published in eight countries and won the Prix du Premier Roman in France. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDaniel Hahn is the author of a number of works of non-fiction\, including the history book The Tower Menagerie. He is also one of the editors of The Ultimate Book Guide\, a series of reading guides for children and teenagers – the first volume of which won the Blue Peter Book Award.
