Fri, 25 September 2020 – 5:00pm – Translating Edna O’Brien’s ‘Girl’ – Online event
How do you go about translating Edna O’Brien‘s award-winning literature?
In celebration of 2020 European Day of Languages, the Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation is teaming up with EUNIC (the EU National Institutes for Culture), to discuss how some of Ireland’s greatest literature is made available in different languages.
We are bringing together the four translators who translated Edna O’Brien’s most recent novel, Girl , into French, German, Italian, and Spanish, to discuss the challenges associated with translating this novel.
We will also hear from Edna O’Brien herself, who will tell us what it is like for her to see her work translated.
This event is online. It is free to attend, and everyone is welcome.
Booking available through EVENTBRITE.
