Join us for a series of special events championing both exquisite translated works and the role of the translator in making stories written in other languages accessible to more people and cultures across the world. We examine the creative, linguistic and political challenges required to take stories across borders; and consider the essential role translated works play in our understanding of the world and humanity at large.
