Translation-Traducción

“Translation-Traducción” with Hermitage Fellow Mónica Lavín and Translator- Collaborator D.P. Snyder, Friday, August 9, 6:30pm: The relationship of author and translator is uniquely collaborative and somewhat elusive. When done right, two writers’ literary DNA recombine to create not mere reproductions but wholly new works. What is the alchemy by which this literary magic takes place? How does such an interchange enrich the work and its readers? In this age of A.I. and ever more present translation technology, Hermitage Fellow Mónica Lavín and her writer-translator collaborator D.P. Snyder offer audiences a chance to explore the Spanish-English literary dynamic and the deeply human activity of understanding another person’s voice. Join these two gifted writers for insight into the intimate, generous, and empathetic act of literary translation. Presented in Partnership with UnidosNow.
