Third Annual ECEC Translation Month Event: Focus on Contemporary East-Central European Women Writers

Please join the East Central European Center at the Harriman Institute for a roundtable discussion in celebration of National Translation Month. This year’s roundtable features four translators presenting current projects, all texts by exciting, contemporary, and up-and-coming East-Central European women writers. Topics will include issues of migration, exile, gender and sexuality, ethnicity, and feminism. The program will include literary readings from recently translated works, including Ivana Dobrakovová’s Mothers and Truckers (trans. Julia and Peter Sherwood) and Lejla Kalamujić’s Call Me Esteban (trans. Jennifer Zoble) and Sandy Mountain [Piaskowa Góra] by Joanna Bator (trans. Maggie Żebracka).

Moderated by Aleksandar Bošković (Lecturer in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian) and Christopher Caes (Lecturer in Polish), co-directors of the East Central European Center.
