The art and industry of literary translation

Readings Hawthorn, Woiwurrung Country, 687 Glenferrie Rd, Hawthorn, Victoria, 3122

John Nieuwenhuizen, an award-winning translator, and Penny Hueston, a senior editor at Text Publishing and the translator of Nobel Prize winner Patrick Modiano, will join our own Mike Shuttleworth for a serious conversation about the art and industry of literary translation.

How does the translator truly capture the voice of the writer in another language? What is the state of translation in Australia? And in a world increasingly dominated by the English language, will we see more books in translation, or fewer?

Fee, but please book here.
