It’s taken us a while, but below is the first of three recordings from this season’s Reading the World Conversation Series. (It’s been suggested that we change this to the Reading Around the World, so that the acronym would be RAWCuS . . . Not bad, not bad.)

This was actually the second event of the season, featuring Steve Dolph (translator of Juan Jose Saer’s and the founder of )and Yana Genova from the NextPage Foundation in Bulgaria. It was a very interesting conversation, with Steve talking about how he became a translator, and Yana discussing translation trends and issues in “Eastern” Europe.

Just a reminder for everyone in the Greater Rochester Metro Area (which is apparently in the U.S.?) that today at 6pm the next Reading the World Conversation Series event will take place. This one is entitled “The State of International Publishing” and will feature translator Steve Dolph talking about the process of translating Juan Jose Saer’s “The Sixty-Five Years of Washington“:
http://catalog.openletterbooks.org/authors/24#sixtyfive and his experiences publishing CALQUE magazine. Yana Genova from the NextPage Foundation in Bulgaria will talk about publishing in “small” markets and the social impact of translations.

It’s sure to be a lot of fun—just wait until we get into the argument about ebooks!—and I hope to see some of you there.

All the info is on the image below, but just in case—it’s taking place at 6pm in the Hawkins-Carlson Room in the Rush Rhees library.
