THAT OTHER WORD | Episode 6 | Géraldine Chognard and Sylvia Whitman




Two Voices: Events from the Center for the Art of Translation show

Summary: In this episode, Daniel Medin and Scott Eposito revisit Robert Walser and rsquo;s Microscripts in its new illustrated paperback edition, and look forward to another take on that author and rsquo;s work, the strange and musical and ldquo;monologue for multiple voices and rdquo; that is Elfriede Jelinek and rsquo;s Her Not All Her: On/With Robert Walser. They discuss the reconstructed romances in Jacqueline Raoul-Duval and rsquo;s Kafka In Love and the well-earned praise for Stig Sæterbakken and rsquo;s Self-Control. They hope that Dalkey Archive Press and rsquo; Arvo Pärt in Conversation will bring about a resurgence in the genre of conversations, and tip their hats to Seagull Books for publishing two works by the 2012 Nobel Laureate Mo Yan, Change and the forthcoming Pow! Daniel Medin then speaks to two booksellers in Paris about introducing and promoting literature in translation, challenges to bookselling in the age of Amazon, and the idea of the bookshop as community center.
