SUMMARY:Bachtyar Ali with Kareem Abdulrahman at Bard College
DESCRIPTION:Iraqi Kurdish novelist Bachtyar Ali\, author of The Last Pomegranate Tree\, will speak with translator Kareem Abdulrahman this September as a part of Bard College’s guest lecture series. Ali and Abdulrahman will reflect on the politics of translating Kurdish literature in the contemporary world\, and their relationship as novelist and translator. \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.

SUMMARY:Bachtyar Ali at the Toronto International Festival of Authors with Jalamuddin Aram
DESCRIPTION:Bachtyar Ali\, author of The Last Pomegranate Tree\, will speak with documentary filmmaker and writer Jamaluddin Aram in a conversation moderated by Ann Yu-Kying Choi this September at the Toronto International Festival of Authors. Translator Kareem Abdulrahman will serve as interpreter during this conversation. \nAli’s The Last Pomegranate Tree follows one man’s desperate quest to reconnect with his only son in the wake of Saddam Hussein’s rule; in Aram’s Nothing Good Happens in Wazirabad on Wednesday\, a cast of memorable characters struggle to find their footing as civil war breaks out in Kabul\, Afghanistan. \nFrom different moments in time and history\, both novels explore the impact of war on ordinary people and attempt to make sense of these moments marked by atrocity. \nYou can register for this event on TIFA’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 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. \nJamaluddin Aram is a documentary filmmaker\, producer\, and writer from Kabul\, Afghanistan.

He lives in Toronto. \nOriginally from South Korea\, Ann Yu-Kying Choi immigrated to Canada in 1975. Her debut novel\, Kay’s Lucky Coin Variety\, was a finalist for the Toronto Book Award. The story\, set in the 1980s\, was inspired by her experiences working in her family-run variety store. \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.

SUMMARY:Jacob Rogers on The Last Days of Terranova with Eric Banks
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation on the practice of translation and often-intertwining literary and political history with translator Jacob Rogers and Eric Banks. They will discuss the translation of Manuel Rivas’s novel The Last Days of Terranova. The event will take place at McNally Jackson Seaport on January 24th at 7:00 pm. You can register for the event here — RSVPs are required. \nJacob Rogers is a translator of Galician and Spanish poetry and prose. He has received grants from the National Endowment of the Arts and the PEN/Heim Translation Fund\, as well as winning the Poetry in Translation Prize from Words Without Borders and the Academy of American Poets. He has helped coordinate two features of Galician-language writing\, in Words Without Borders and Asymptote\, and his translations have been featured in a variety of publications. His translation of Carlos Casares’s novel\, His Excellency\, was published by Small Stations Press in 2017. \n\n  \nEric Banks is director of the New York Institute for the Humanities. He is the former editor in chief of Bookforum and a former senior editor of Artforum. He is a past president of the National Book Critics Circle. Banks is consulting editor of the digital Robert Rauschenberg catalogue raisonné. \n  \n  \nThe Last Days of Terranova tells of Vicenzo Fontana\, the elderly owner of the long-standing Terranova Bookstore\, on the day it’s set to close due to the greed of real-estate speculators. On this final day\, Vincenzo spends the night in his beloved store filled more than seventy years of fugitive histories. Jumping from the present to various points in the past\, the novel ferries us back to Vicenzo’s childhood\, when his father opened the store in 1935\, to the years that the store was run by his Uncle Eliseo\, and to the years in the lead-up to the democratic transition\, which Vicenzo spent as far away from the bookstore as possible\, in Madrid. Like the bookstore itself\, The Last Days of Terranova is a space crammed with stories\, histories\, and literary references\, and as many nooks\, crannies\, and complexities\, brought to life in Rivas’s vital prose.

SUMMARY:Maureen Freely and Merve Emre in conversation about Dawn
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual discussion about our new release – Sevgi Soysal’s stunning 1975 novel Dawn. The book will be presented by the translator Maureen Freely\, in conversation with Merve Emre. The event is hosted by Community Bookstore\, in partnership with the Third Place Books and the Transnational Literature Series at Brookline Booksmith. It will take place on November 17th at 6pm EST via Zoom. You can register here. \nMaureen Freely is a writer\, translator\, senior lecturer at Warwick University\, and the President of English PEN. Her seventh novel\, Sailing through Byzantium\, was chosen as one of the best novels of 2014 by The Sunday Times. She has translated or co-translated a number of Turkish memoirs and classics\, including The Time Regulation Institute by Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar and five works by the Turkish novelist and Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk. She also co-translated A Useless Man by Sait Faik Abasıyanık with Alex Dawes. She is widely regarded as the foremost translator of Turkish literature. Sevgi Soysal was the first writer she ever translated. \n \n  \nMerve Emre is associate professor of English at the University of Oxford. She is the author of Paraliterary: The Making of Bad Readers in Postwar America\, The Ferrante Letters\, and The Personality Brokers. She is finishing a book titled Post-Discipline: Literature\, Professionalism\, and the Crisis of the Humanities and writing a book called Love and Other Useless Pursuits. She is a contributing writer at the New Yorker. Her essays and criticism have appeared in the New York Review of Books\, Harper’s\, New York Times Magazine\, The Atlantic\, and the London Review of Books. From 2022-23\, she will be a Distinguished Writer-in-Residence at the Shapiro Center at Wesleyan University. \nDawn tells a story about a handful of guests at a dinner party in Adana around the time of the 1971 coup in Turkey. A swift kick knocks down the front door and bumbling policemen converge on the guests\, carting them off to holding cells\, where they’ll be interrogated and tortured throughout the night. Written by a beloved author of Turkey’s left who was herself imprisoned after the coup of 1971\, its concerns remain critical for working people around the world. With a fearlessness that allows for total exposure\, Sevgi Soysal offers a portrait of the lives that bloom in the cracks of a repressive system\, and the ideas that continue to germinate today.

SUMMARY:Hanne Ørstavik and Nina MacLaughlin discuss Ti Amo at Brookline Booksmith
DESCRIPTION:Join Hanne Ørstavik and writer Nina MacLaughlin in conversation about Ørstavik’s latest novel\, Ti Amo. Hosted by the Brookline Booksmith\, the event will take place at the bookshop on November 3rd\, at 7pm EST. \nHanne Ørstavik published the novel Cut in 1994 and embarked on a career that would make her one of the most remarkable and admired authors in Norwegian contemporary literature. Her literary breakthrough came three years later with the publication of Love (Kjærlighet)\, which in 2006 was voted the 6th best Norwegian book of the last 25 years in a prestigious contest in Dagbladet\, and won the 2019 PEN Translation Prize. Since then\, the author has written several acclaimed and much discussed novels and received a host of literary prizes. \n  \n  \nNina MacLaughlin is the author of Wake\, Siren: Ovid Resung\, (FSG/FSG Originals)\, as well as Summer Solstice: An Essay (Black Sparrow). Her first book was the acclaimed memoir Hammer Head: The Making of a Carpenter (W.W. Norton). Formerly an editor at the Boston Phoenix\, she worked for nine years as a carpenter\, and is now a books columnist for the Boston Globe. Her work has appeared on or in The Paris Review Daily\, The Virginia Quarterly Review\, n+1\, The Believer\, The New York Times Book Review\, Agni\, American Short Fiction\, the Los Angeles Review of Books\, the Wall Street Journal\, Meatpaper\, and elsewhere. \n  \n \n  \nIn Ti Amo\, an unnamed narrator 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.

SUMMARY:Discussion between Scholastique Mukasonga and Vladimir Sorokin at Brooklyn Book Festival
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to be at the Brooklyn Book Festival again this year— we invite you to visit us at our booth\, and to join in for a conversation  between Scholastique Mukasonga\, author of Kibogo\, and Russian writer-in-exile Vladimir Sorokin\, who will talk about time\, myths and legends that shape communities\, and changes they have to undertake. The event will take place in the Center for Brooklyn History on October 2nd\, at 12pm EST. \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. Her first novel\, Our Lady Of The Nile\, won the Ahamadou Kourouma prize and the Renaudot prize in 2012\, as well as the Océans France Ô prize in 2013 and the French Voices Award in 2014; it was also shortlisted for the 2016 International Dublin Literary Award. In 2019\, The Barefoot Woman was a finalist for the 2019 National Book Award for Translated Literature. In 2019\, her novel Our Lady Of The Nile was adapted into a film by Atiq Rahimi. Her new novel Kibogo comes out in September. \nVladimir Sorokin was a major presence in the Moscow underground of the 1980s. His work was banned in the Soviet Union\, and his first novel\, The Queue\, was published by the famed émigré dissident Andrei Sinyavsky in France in 1985. In 1992\, Sorokin’s Their Four Hearts was short-listed for the Russian Booker Prize. In 1999\, the publication of the controversial novel Blue Lard\, which included a sex scene between clones of Stalin and Khrushchev\, led to public demonstrations against the book and demands that Sorokin be prosecuted as a pornographer. In 2001\, he received the Andrei Bely Award for outstanding contributions to Russian literature. His work has been translated into more than thirty languages. His latest book\, Telluria\, comes out in August. \n

SUMMARY:Scholastique Mukasonga and Mark Polizzotti in celebration of Kibogo
DESCRIPTION:Join the Transnational Literature Series at Brookline Booksmith for an in-store event with Scholastique Mukasonga and translator Mark Polizzotti to celebrate the release of Kibogo. Longlisted for 2022 National Book Award\, it’s a masterwork of satire\, lore\, and living memory from the leading voice of French-Rwandan literature. The conversation will take place on September 29th\, at 7pm ET. You can register here. \nScholastique Mukasonga was born in Rwanda in 1956. She settled in France in 1992\, only two years before the brutal genocide of the Tutsi swept through Rwanda. Her groundbreaking books include: the debut novel Our Lady of the Nile\, Cockroaches (chosen by the New York Times as one of the fifty best memoirs of the last fifty years)\, Igifu\, and National Book Award-nominated The Barefoot Woman\, expertly translated by Jordan Stump. In 2021\, she won the Simone de Beauvoir Prize for Women’s Freedom. \n  \n  \n  \nMark Polizzotti is a biographer\, critic\, translator\, editor\, and poet. In 2016\, he received an Award for Literature from the American Academy of Arts & Letters and was made a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture. His translation of Eric Vuillard’s The War of the Poor was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize in 2021. His own books include Revolution of the Mind: The Life of André Breton\, which was a finalist for the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction; Bob Dylan: Highway 61 Revisited; a monograph on Luis Buñuel’s Los Olvidados; and Sympathy for the Traitor: A Translation Manifesto. He has translated over fifty books from the French\, including works by Patrick Modiano\, Gustave Flaubert\, and Marguerite Duras\, among others. He directs the publications program at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York. \n  \nIn Kibogo\, Mukasonga’s recounts the clash between ancient Rwandan beliefs and the missionaries’ determination to replace them with European Christianity. When a rogue priest is defrocked for fusing the gospels with the martyrdom of Kibogo\, a fierce clash of cults ensues. Swirling with the heady smell of wet earth and flashes of acerbic humor\, Mukasonga brings to life the vital mythologies that imbue the Rwandan spirit. In doing so\, she gives us a tale of disarming simplicity and profound universal truth. \n  \n
