August is Women in Translation Month – the annual celebration of women writers from around the world, writing in languages other than English.

Join local translators Allison Markin Powell (Japanese), Tess Lewis (French, German) and Ellen Elias-Bursac (Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian) for a conversation about women writers and women translators—who gets translated, how, and why? What strange, new worlds are waiting to be discovered in these books? Come and bring your own recommendations. Here’s to reading beyond our immediate horizons (or, as the Germans say: past the rim of our plates).
