The text of this work resonates alongside the dynamic and colourful paintings of celebrated artist Jamie Nares. \nAbout the speaker: \nJhumpa Lahiri\, a bilingual writer and translator\, is the Millicent C. McIntosh Professor of English and Director of Creative Writing at Barnard College (Columbia University). She received the Pulitzer Prize in 2000 for Interpreter of Maladies\, her debut story collection. She is also the author of The Namesake\, Unaccustomed Earth\, and The Lowland\, which was a finalist for both the Man Booker prize and the National Book Award in fiction. Since 2015\, Lahiri has been writing fiction\, essays\, and poetry in Italian: In Altre Parole (In Other Words)\, Il vestito dei libri (The Clothing of Books)\, Dove mi trovo (self-translated as Whereabouts)\, Il quaderno di Nerina\, and Racconti romani (Roman Stories). She has translated three novels by Domenico Starnone and is the editor of The Penguin Classics Book of Italian Short Stories. Lahiri received the National Humanities Medal from President Barack Obama in 2014\, and in 2019 she was named Commendatore of the Italian Republic by President Sergio Mattarerlla. Her most recent book in English\, a collection of essays entitled Translating Myself and Others\, was a finalist for the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay. \nAbout The Cahiers Series:  \nThe Cahiers Series is published by Sylph Editions in collaboration with The American University of Paris. The goal of this series is to make available new explorations in writing\, in translating\, and in the areas linking these two activities.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Important information: The discussion will be available both online and in person.
