For the first time ever, the Bridge Series, which presents readings by and conversations between translators in NYC, will be hosting an author/translator/editor trio. Come hear Argentine author Sergio Chejfec read from and talk about his novel My Two Worlds with translator Margaret Carson and the book’s editor, E.J. Van Lanen of Open Letter Books. Chejfec, who has published numerous books (novels, poetry, essays) teaches in the Creative Writing in Spanish program at NYU. My Two Worlds is his first book to be translated into English.
Bridge has been going strong ever since it was started last winter by translator Bill Martin and editor Sal Robinson and is an important resource for anyone interested in the art of translation. It brings together outstanding figures in the field in an intimate setting that fosters conversation. This Bridge will be held at its usual venue, McNally Jackson Books at 52 Prince Street. Thursday Sept. 15, 7:00 p.m.
