Translation on Tap in NYC, June 1 – 30, 2016

This June I’m off to Germany to meet with Jenny Erpenbeck and 8 or 9 other translators of her new novel into various languages. I’m hoping we’ll go through it page by page. Should be interesting! But if you’re going to be around in NYC, you might want to go to a translation event or two. So far, I’ve just got a couple on the books, but will add more as I hear of them. If all else fails, maybe you’ll get some sunshine instead and take a nice translated book to Coney Island with you?
