FOUND IN TRANSLATION / Book Group Meeting
After a short hiatus, Booksmith’s literature-in-translation book group is ready to rock and roll again. This is an open discussion group, and, yes, you may simply show up – we’d love to see you! You’ll find descriptive flyers about the group and forthcoming books and dates in the store.
With the recent publication of Roberto
Bolano: The Last Interview and Bolano's newest
novel-in-translation, Monsieur Pain, the time is ripe to talk about this
superstar. Join us at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, January 26, to discuss The
Skating Rink, published last August. Called a
"masterpiece" by The New York Times, the book centers around
the murder of a beautiful ice skater in Spain
Copies of The Skating Rink, like all other Found in Translation featured titles, are available at a 15% discount.
The Booksmith is so happy to welcome Scott Esposito and Annie Janusch as group discussion leaders. Scott and Annie's work with both the Quarterly Conversation and the Center for the Art of Translation keeps them apprised on a day-to-day basis of what's new in world lit, and they're excited to act as your "interpreters" through these uncharted literary landscapes.
