Join us for an evening of international literature and translation as we celebrate the publication of our special Lusophone issue of www.WordsWithoutBorders.org. This event will feature readings of the very finest in contemporary Portuguese poetry and prose from around the globe followed by Q&A with four leading translators of Portuguese: David Brookshaw, Richard Zenith, Daniel Hahn, and very special guest Gregory Rabassa (Gabriel García Márquez said that Professor Rabassa's English translation of his novel One Hundred Years of Solitude was "more accurate" than the original Spanish).
This event is free and open to the public, and is cosponsored by Housing Works, Inc., Poets and Writers, and the Americas Society.
