Seven Authors, Seven Translations
The Italian Cultural Institute in London presents a series of online talks with Italian writers newly translated – or soon to be translated – into English, in conversation with Katherine Gregor.
Which Italian authors’ latest works can we read in English translation now? What are their books about?
“Seven Authors, Seven Translations”, a selection of writers and novels, offers a possible answer to these questions: every week the Italian Cultural Institute in London will share on its Vimeo channel an interview with a different author talking about their work, in English, lasting approximately 20’.
Historical novels, anarchists, autofiction and detective stories. Award-winning writers and new stories. We invite you to explore an amazing narrative landscape.
For more information please visit the Institute’s website or its Vimeo channel.
Katherine Gregor is a Norwich-based translator of fiction, non-fiction and plays from Italian, English and some Russian. She also writes plays, fiction and a column on www.scribedoll.com.
