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: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:Ida Jessen and Anne Michaels discuss  A Postcard for Annie
DESCRIPTION:We are happy to invite you to a virtual conversation between Ida Jessen and Anne Michaels in celebration of Jessen’s A Postcard for Annie\, translated to English by Martin Aitken. Third Place Books and Community Bookstore will co-host the event\, and it will be streamed live on Saturday\, July 23rd 3PM EST. You can register here. \nIn six simmering stories\, Ida Jessen cuts through the ordinary artifices that prop up our closest relationships\, exposing the lucid truth. The voices of women and girls animate these narratives. In one\, a pair of young sisters wander through their neighborhood at night\, under telephone lines glazed with ice\, over pavements that resemble “the darkest glass\,” unaware of the violence unfolding in a nearby grocery store. In another\, a mother and son improvise an elaborate choreography in order to conceal\, even from themselves\, an act of brutality. Desire clicks uncomfortably against reality\, goading characters into desperate exploits or carrying them toward hotheaded romance. Family life shapeshifts\, becoming an embittered snare or a tender\, fragile mooring. Sprightly and acute\, Jessen uncovers the currents of rage\, love\, duplicity\, and courage that shape our resolutions\, and change our lives. \n Ida Jessen is widely considered to be the master of psychological realism in contemporary Danish fiction. Having made her debut with the short-story collection Under Sten (Under Stone) in 1989\, Jessen’s breakthrough came with the trilogy: Den der lyver (The One Who’s Lying; 2011)\, Det første jeg tænker (The First Thing I Think Of; 2006)\, and Børnene (The Children; 2009). The latter earned her the Booksellers Prize\, the Golden Laurel and a nomination for the Nordic Council Literature Prize. Her short story collection\, Postkort til Annie (Postcard to Annie; 2013) earned her another nomination for the Nordic Council Prize. Jessen was recently awarded the 2017 Critics’ Choice Award (April 2018) for The Anagrams of Doctor Bagge. She is also a recipient of the Lifetime Award from the Danish Arts Foundation. \n\nAnne Michaels is a novelist and poet. Her books are translated into more than fifty languages and have won dozens of international awards\, including the Orange Prize\, the Guardian Fiction Prize\, and the Lannan Award for Fiction. Among many other honours she is a Guggenheim Fellow\, has received honorary degrees\, and has served as Toronto’s Poet Laureate. Her novel Fugitive Pieces was adapted as a feature film. Her most recent books include All We Saw\, Infinite Gradation\, and Railtracks (co-written with John Berger).
