Join n+1 translation columnist Bela Shayevich at the n+1 office in Brooklyn on the evening of Tuesday, May 19 for a translation mixer and mini-workshop for translators and the translation-curious. Bilingual participants are invited to bring “nasty, brutish, and short” selections sections of text along with an interlingual translation. “Together,” Bela says, “we will work on collaboratively solving your most twisted translation problems.” Examples of difficult texts may include: slangy dialogue, contorted sentences, rhyming poetry. Come empty-handed and monolingual, or send Bela your brutish selections by Monday, May 18.
