V. Mort.

This workshop is intended for creative writers and other students who wish to enrich their literary imagination through the art of translation. In addition to examining the intriguing relationship between author, translator and text, we will decode literary texts across geography and time, in order to master the craft of writing and rewriting. We will focus on the nuances of voice, tone, and style. We will get to mess with the greats and talk about angels! Knowledge of other languages is a plus, but not a requirement.
