By the way, Hans Witschi isn’t a translator per se, he’s a really wonderful painter who lives in the East village. I’m a huge fan of his work and think he’s brilliant. There’s also an extremely impressive lineup of translators in this event, so it should be pretty spectacular all round. More information here. A Public Space, 323 Dean St., Brooklyn, 6:30 p.m.
