About the Event
Come spend a summer evening with the hottest translators in town!
Literary translators will gather at Folio to share excerpts from their work in translation, any genre, and language. You can register to read from your work or to simply attend and cheer on your colleagues.
The first eight translators to register for the event and indicate that they want to perform will be assigned a reading slot. Other readers will be welcome to follow as time allows. Please bring snacks or beverages to share.
A few rules:
Readings should include a little of the source language and a lot of your translation.
You must read a translation of your own, not someone else's (or some machine's translation).
