SUMMARY:Hanne Ørstavik presents 'Ti Amo'
DESCRIPTION:Third Place Books is thrilled to welcome Hanne Ørstavik to their Ravenna neighborhood store! Ørstavik is the author of three novels translated into English by Martin Aitken—Love\, The Pastor\, and Ti Amo—and the forthcoming publication of stay with me from Archipelago Books. Ørstavik was a finalist for the National Book Award in 2018. Ti Amo is her most recent book translated into English. \nFor important updates\, registration is highly recommended in advance. This event will include a public signing and time for audience Q&A. Sustain our author series by purchasing a copy of the featured book! \nWhat can be found within a gaze? What lies inside a painting or behind a handful of repeated words? These are the questions that haunt our unnamed narrator as she tends to her husband\, stricken with cancer\, in the final months of his life. She examines the elements of their life together: their Vietnamese rose-colored folding table where they eat their meals\, each of the New Year’s Eves they’ve shared\, their friendships\, and their most intimate exchanges. With everything in flux\, she searches for the facets that will remain. Hanne Ørstavik writes\, “I have a compulsion for truth that feels like my very life force itself.” Tentative\, laced with a tingling frankness\, Ørstavik’s prose adheres so closely to the inner workings of its narrator’s mind as to nearly undo itself. In Martin Aitken’s translation\, Ørstavik’s piercing story sings. \n

SUMMARY:A Reading and Conversation with Bachtyar Ali and Margaret Litvin at Boston University
DESCRIPTION:Bachtyar Ali\, author of The Last Pomegranate Tree\, and translator Kareem Abdulrahman will be in conversation with World Languages & Literature professor Margaret Litvin to celebrate the recent publication of Ali’s The Last Pomegranate Tree—“a phantasmagoric warren of fact\, fabrication\, and mystical allegory\, set in the aftermath of Saddam Hussein’s rule and Iraq’s Kurdish conflict.” \nYou can reserve your free ticket on Boston University’s website. \n \nBachtyar Ali was born in 1966 in Sulaimaniya in northern Iraq. In 1983\, he was injured during a student protest against Saddam Hussein’s Ba’ath party\, and the experience inspired him to focus on writing. He received his first prize that year\, for his poem “Nishtiman” (“Homeland”). After the revolt of 1991\, writers and intellectuals in the Kurdish region of Iraq experienced a surge of creative autonomy. In the intervening years Ali has written over 40 books of fiction\, poetry\, and criticism\, including 12 novels. He has been translated into over seven languages\, a renown very few authors writing in the Kurdish language enjoy. In 2017\, he was awarded the Nelly Sachs Prize. He is also the recipient of the Sherko Bekas Literature Prize and the HARDI Literature Prize\, and in 2005\, the Ministry of Culture of Iraqi Kurdistan elected the novel Shari Mosiqare Spiyekan (The City of the Musicians in White) as the best book of the year. \nKareem Abdulrahman is a translator and Kurdish affairs analyst. From 2006 to 2014\, he worked as a Kurdish media and political analyst for the BBC\, where translation was part of his job. Abdulrahman translated Bachtyar Ali’s I Stared at the Night of the City into English (UK; Periscope; 2016)\, making it the first Kurdish novel to be translated into English. \nMargaret Litvin is a historian of modern Arabic literature and theatre. Her first book\, Hamlet’s Arab Journey: Shakespeare’s Prince and Nasser’s Ghost (Princeton\, 2011)\, has been taught in university courses ranging from “Theatre History” to “The New Comparative Literature” to “Anthropology of the Middle East.” Her current research continues the effort to situate Arab cultural production in global context. Her book manuscript\, Another East: Arab Writers\, Moscow Dreams\, reconstructs some literary legacies of Arab-Russian and Arab-Soviet cultural ties. Another ongoing book project\, Sindbad’s Raft\, Houdini’s Cage: Arab/ic Theatre in the New World Market\, analyzes the phenomenon of Arab/ic theatre produced for European and American audiences. Her translations include Hamlet adaptations by Syrian and Iraqi playwrights (in Four Arab Hamlet Plays\, co-edited with Marvin Carlson\, Segal Theatre Center\, 2016) and Sonallah Ibrahim’s Moscow-set novel Ice (Seagull Publishing\, 2019).
