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: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: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: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.

SUMMARY:Angela Rodel & Claire Messud at Porter Square Books
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at Porter Square Books (Cambridge\, MA) for an evening of conversation between Angela Rodel\, translator of Wolf Hunt by Ivailo Petrov\, and Claire Messud\, author of The Emperor’s Children.  \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. \nClaire Messud’s The Emperor’s Children was a New York Times\, Los Angeles Times\, and Washington Post Best Book of the Year. Her first novel\, When the World Was Steady\, and her book of novellas\, The Hunters\, were both finalists for the PEN/Faulkner Award; and her second novel\, The Last Life\, was a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year and Editor’s Choice at The Village Voice. All four books were named New York Times Notable Books of the Year. Messud has been awarded Guggenheim and Radcliffe Fellowships and the Strauss Living Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

SUMMARY:Martina Broner in conversation with Benjamin Kunkel
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at McNally Jackson to hear translator Martina Broner and writer Benjamin Kunkel discuss Antonio Di Benedetto’s Nest in the Bones. \nAntonio Di Benedetto wrote with constant poetic innovation. His genre-defying stories\, often dark and unexpectedly moving\, explore the space between imagination and reality\, tragedy and melodrama\, civilization and barbarism. Nest in the Bones attests to Di Benedetto’s mastery of the short form as well as his impressive range across genres and styles. Di Benedetto was a writer’s writer\, admired by Julio Cortázar\, Roberto Bolaño\, and Ricardo Piglia\, who counted Di Benedetto\, next to Borges\, as one of the two great models of Latin American literature. \n  \n  \nBenjamin Kunkel is the bestselling author of Indecision and a co-founder of n+1. 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. Broner holds M.F.A. degrees from Columbia (Film) and NYU (Creative Writing in Spanish) and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Romance Studies at Cornell.

SUMMARY:Angela Rodel in conversation with Susan Harris in Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at Unabridged Bookstore in Chicago for a conversation between Angela Rodel\, translator of Ivailo Petrov’s Wolf Hunt\, and Susan Harris. \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.

SUMMARY:Angela Rodel and Susan Harris at Unabridged Bookstore
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of conversation between Angela Rodel\, translator of Ivailo Petrov’s Wolf Hunt\, and Susan Harris\, editorial director of Words Without Borders for what is sure to be a night lively and thoughtful discussion! \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. \n\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. \nSusan Harris is the editorial director of Words Without Borders. The former director and editor in chief of Northwestern University Press\, she has worked in translation and publishing for over twenty years. Ms. Harris holds a B.A. in fiction writing and English literature from Northwestern University\, and an M.A. in English from the University of Illinois\, Chicago.
