2pm, Tuesday 16th May 2017,
Room 317, The Hetherington Building, Bute Gardens
45 minute talk illustrated with slides, followed by questions.
“How should one tackle writing English-language biographies of Russia's great writers in the post-Soviet age? Can immersion in the life of a writer enhance translations of their works, and can translation provide biographical insight? This talk will explore such questions through a discussion of the unusual experience of writing biographies of Tolstoy and Chekhov while simultaneously translating their prose.”
