SUMMARY:Celebrating the Launch of Jean Giono’s The Serpent of Stars and the publication of Jean Follain’s Earthly
DESCRIPTION:Join Archipelago Books and The Song Cave in celebrating the reprint of Jean Giono’s The Serpent of Stars and the publication of Jean Follain’s Earthly. Both Giono and Follain were writers from rural France who came of age during WWI. As the agrarian lifestyle they were raised in was forever altered by the twin forces of WWII and industrialization\, they used writing to engage with these century-defining dynamics. Follain refers to the “uncertainty at the root of time” and observes plainly in one of his poems: “There are almost no more horses.” Giono renders the disorientation of the times with a paradox: “When mysteries are very crafty\, they hide in the light; shadows are merely a decoy.” The event will feature readings from the two books by Andrew Seguin and Mark Polizzotti\, as well as a conversation between Edwin Frank and Michael Wood.

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: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.

SUMMARY:Father\, daughter; author\, translator: Homero & Chloe Aridjis discuss The Child Poet at Community Bookstore
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at Community Bookstore in Brooklyn at 7pm\, for a conversation between celebrated Mexican poet Homero Aridjis and his daughter the novelist and translator Chloe Aridjis. They will speak about THE CHILD POET\, a dream memoir written by Homero Aridjis which animates long-forgotten memories of his childhood that imminent fatherhood helped to uncover. \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 of particular 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. \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. \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 Etranger in France. \nThe Child Poet is a heart-rending\, singular meditation on where art comes from. This will certainly be a unique conversation\, offering a great insight into the relationship between author and translator as well as father and daughter. We hope to see you there!
