Women in Translation Month Reading Series – Aug 12,19 & 26

Posted by PEN America on August 10, 2021

August is here, and it’s time to celebrate Women in Translation (#WiT) Month! This year, our virtual reading series will gather voices from across time zones for an international celebration. Organized under the support of the PEN America Translation Committee, these events will bring together a total of 15 translators, joined by their authors, working in 12 languages from across the world, including Cameroon French, Canadian French, Chinese, Czech, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish. Each reading will be followed by a brief Q&A discussion, time-permitting.

Dates and Times: August 12, 19 and 26, 2:00-3:30 PM

And check out the CLMP (Community of Literary Magazines and Presses)’s reading list for Women in Translation Month, for which CLMP asked several independent literary presses and magazines to share some of the literature they have published that is both written and translated by women.
