SUMMARY:Philip Roughton and Doug McIntyre in celebration of  Salka Valka
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to invite you to a virtual conversation between Doug McIntyre and Philip Roughton\, who will discuss his new translation of Halldór Laxness’s Salka Valka. Hosted by Scandinavia House\, the event will take place via Zoom on Tuesday\, June 21 at 1PM EST. You can register for the event here. \nSalka Valka tells a story of an eleven-year-old Salvör and her unmarried mother Sigurlína\, who one winter night disembark at the remote\, run-down fishing village of Óseyri\, where life is “lived in fish and consists of fish.” The two struggle to make their way amidst the rough\, salt-worn men of the town. A feminist coming-of-age tale\, an elegy to the plight of the working class and the corrosive effects of social and economic inequality\, and a poetic window into the arrival of modernity in a tiny industrial town\, Salka Valka is a novel of epic proportions\, living and breathing with its vibrant cast of characters\, filled with tenderness\, humor\, and remarkable pathos. \n\nPhilip Roughton has translated the work of Halldór Laxness\, Jón Kalman Stefánsson\, Kristín Marja Baldursdóttir and many others. He has been awarded the American-Scandinavian Foundation Translation Prize for his rendering of Laxness’s work twice\, in 2001 for Iceland’s Bell and again in 2015 for Wayward Heroes. He also received the 2016 Oxford-Weidenfeld Prize for his translation of Jón Kalman Stefánsson’s The Heart of Man. He lives in Iceland. \n  \n  \n \n  \nDoug McIntyre is the principal Opinion Columnist for the Southern California News Group which includes the Los Angeles Daily News\, Orange Country Register\, and San Bernardino Sun\, among others. In 2010\, Doug was named “Best Columnist” by the California Newspaper Publishers Association. He has also written for many other publications including the Los\nAngeles Times\, LA Jazz Scene\, and The Bridgeport Post. Doug’s debut novel Frank’s Shadow (Greenleaf Books) will be published in 2023. \n
