SUMMARY:(In Person at the Center for Fiction) The International Library Part I: Notes on Sugar
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In person at the Center for Fiction (Brooklyn\, NY) and over Zoom\, join celebrated Swiss author Dorothee Elmiger and American writer Kate Zambreno for a conversation about Megan Ewing’s new English translation of Elmiger’s Out of the Sugar Factory (Aus der Zuckerfabrik). \nIn an era of greed and lust\, power and excess\, Out of the Sugar Factory plumbs the impact of the sugar manufacturing industry through a kaleidoscope of memories\, dreams\, literary references\, narrative threads\, and historical fragments. From the Haitian Revolution and Chantal Akerman\, to Karl Marx\, James Joyce and D.H. Lawrence\, Elmiger compiles a journal of reflections on global systems of capital through the medium of her personal patterns of experience. At a time when this critical historical lens is under attack across the U.S.\, we can look to Elmiger’s work as inspiration to keep revising old stories we have told until now. \nAbout the speakers: \nDorothee Elmiger was born in 1985 in Switzerland. She is the author of Out of the Sugar Factory\, Shift Sleepers\, and Invitation to the Bold of Heart. She lives in New York City. \nKate Zambreno is the author most recently To Write As If Already Dead\, a study of Hervé Guibert (Columbia University Press)\, and the novel Drifts (Riverhead). The Light Room\, a meditation on art and care\, is forthcoming from Riverhead in July 2023. A collaborative meditation on tone in literature with Sofia Samatar is forthcoming from Columbia University Press in fall 2023. A 2021 Guggenheim Fellow in Nonfiction\, she teaches in the MFA nonfiction program at Columbia University and is the Strachan Donnelley Chair in Environmental Writing at Sarah Lawrence College. \nImportant information: The discussion will take place at the Center for Fiction in Brooklyn\, New York. The conversation will be streamed on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. \nAccess to this event requires registration through the Center for Fiction.

To be translated? How to translate? And for whom to translate? More broadly\, the series will guide readers to think critically about how stories are told\, investigating the points of view\, the timing of the translations\, and the intended or assumed audiences as well as inspiration\, philosophy\, and craft. \nAll meetings will be hybrid\, taking place in person at The Center for Fiction in Brooklyn (1:30pm ET) with audiences at the American Library in Paris (in Paris; 19h30 CEST) and the Center for the Art of Translation in San Francisco (10:30am PT) for a live streaming experience. Events will run for about an hour. \nPlease write to Alice McCrum (mccrum@americanlibraryinparis.org)\, Melanie McNair (melanie@centerforfiction.org)\, or Leslie-Ann Woofter (leslie-ann@catranslation.org) with any questions or thoughts.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) The Task of Translation with Cécile Wajsbrot\, Tess Lewis\, and Anne Weber
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In Cecile Wajsbrot’s Nevermore\, a translator haunted by her past moves to a town with its own dark history in order to begin a translation of Virginia Woolf’s To The Lighthouse. Working on Woolf’s chapter “Time Passes\,” she undertakes her own meditation upon the passage of time and the movement of history. Confronting the violent scars of World War II in Woolf’s writing and in Dresden\, her new home\, our narrator experiences a fusion of the space of the novel with the space around her. As a translator\, she is trained to navigate different worlds. Yet with this project\, she risks losing herself entirely in this new realm where time\, space\, and language–much like waves at sea–overlap. Wajsbrot will speak with translators Anne Weber and Tess Miller about the task of the translator\, finding the language to recreate destroyed epochs\, and the fragile boundaries between literature and life.  \nAbout the speakers: \nCécile Wajsbrot was born in Paris in 1954. She writes mostly novels\, sometimes essays and radio fictions. She is also a translator\, from the English (for instance Virginia Woolf) and from the German. Her latest novel\, Nevermore\, published in 2021\, deals with the process of translation. For more than twenty years she has been living in Paris and Berlin. \nTess Lewis is a writer and translator from French and German. Lewis is a recipient of the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship\, and was awarded the ACFNY Translation Prize and the 2017 PEN Translation Prize for her translation of the novel Angel of Oblivion by Maja Haderlap. \nAnne Weber is a German-French author and translator based in Paris. She has received the 3Sat award at the Festival of German-Language Literature as well as a European translation award for her translation of Pierre Michon. Her most recent novel\, Epic Annette\, won the 2020 German Book Prize. She was awarded the 2022 Leipzig Book Fair Prize in Translation for her German version of NEVERMORE. \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Wajsbrot\, Lewis\, and Weber will appear in the Reading Room)\, the Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. \nThis event requires advance registration. \nAttendance at this event constitutes permission for your photograph or video to be taken at the event and used by the American Library in Paris for marketing\, promotional\, pedagogical\, or other purposes.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1661353661878{border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #9e0143 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”] \nEvenings with an Author are free and open to the public (with a 10€ suggested donation)\nthanks to the generous support of Gregory Annenberg Weingarten of GRoW @ Annenberg.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Breaking the Silence on Menopause with Dr. Mary Claire Haver and Kate Muir
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Menopause occurs in every menstruating body. Yet few know what to expect when they begin experiencing it\, and even fewer understand the science behind the process. Lack of research and cultural taboos around discussions of menstruation have contributed to a general cultural ignorance surrounding the subject\, which translates into ill-preparedness and inadequate treatment when it happens. Dr. Mary Claire Haver\, MD\, has devoted her life to developing nutrition strategies aimed at combating the adverse effects of menopause-induced hormonal changes. Kate Muir has written books and produced documentaries on the subject\, aiming to promote awareness and challenge the Together\, the two women will discuss the reality of menopause\, the stigmas associated with talking about it\, and the importance of breaking the silence.  \nAbout the speakers: \nDr. Mary Claire Haver is a wife\, mom\, Board Certified OBGYN\, entrepreneur and best- selling author of The Galveston Diet\, who has devoted her adult life to women’s health and the treatment of perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Haver believes in the power of nutrition and anti- inflammatory foods to combat midlife inflammation and highly recommends the unique  benefits of intermittent fasting. She is a leading voice on social media in the realm of menopause education.  \nKate Muir is a menopause expert\, writer and filmmaker. She is the author of Everything You Need to Know About the Menopause (but were too afraid to ask) and the producer of three groundbreaking Davina McCall women’s health documentaries\, including Sex\, Myths and the Menopause for Channel 4 in the UK. Her next book is on the contraceptive pill. \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Haver will appear in the Reading Room and Muir will appear over Zoom)\, the Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Felwine Sarr on Africa’s Struggle for its Art
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In recent years\, following social justice movements\, the question of the place of stolen African art in European museums has become increasingly urgent. In France\, a reassessment of French universalism has brought the question of restitution to a possible turning point: Macron’s headline-making 2017 declaration that France must recognize its colonial past was followed by an equally landmark report on the restitution of stolen African art\, written by art historians Bénédicte Savoy and Felewine Sarr. In conversation with journalist Rachel Donadio\, Sarr will discuss the monumental report and its consequences. What were the consequences of its publication? Were Macron’s words just empty speech? What happens now? From the Smithsonian to the Louvre\, Sarr will explain how substantial change\, from the contents of permanent collections to the ways we define art\, is coming for major cultural institutions.  \nAbout the speakers: \nFelwine Sarr is a Senegalese writer and academic. He is Anne-Marie Bryan Distinguished Professor of Romance Studies at Duke University in North Carolina\, after having taught at University Gaston Berger at Saint-Louis in Senegal\, where he is adjunct professor of Economics. In 2018\, the French president commissioned him to write a report\, with the art historian Benedicte Savoy\, on the restitution of African heritage present in French museums. He has authored thirteen works and is the co-publisher with his publishing house Jimsaan of the Prix Goncourt 2021\, La plus secrète mémoire des hommes by Mohamed Mbougar Sarr. \nRachel Donadio is a Paris-based writer and journalist\, a contributing writer for the Atlantic\, and a former Rome Bureau Chief and European Culture correspondent for the New York Times. She regularly publishes textured profiles and features at the intersection of culture and politics\, as well as literary criticism. Since 2022 she has been the administrator of the American Library in Paris annual Book Award. \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Sarr and Donadio will appear in the Reading Room)\, the Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. \nThis event requires advance registration. \nAttendance at this event constitutes permission for your photograph or video to be taken at the event and used by the American Library in Paris for marketing\, promotional\, pedagogical\, or other purposes.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1661353661878{border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #9e0143 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”] \nEvenings with an Author are free and open to the public (with a 10€ suggested donation)\nthanks to the generous support of Gregory Annenberg Weingarten of GRoW @ Annenberg.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Ben Miller on the Bad Gays of History
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Pride month is populated by LGBTQ iconography\, celebrating the figures across history who demanded the right to live and love freely. Yet how is gay history oversimplified when we only spotlight the heroes of the movement? In Bad Gays\, authors Ben Miller and Huew Lemmey have the courage to complicate things. Recounting the lives of people who made mistakes\, harmed others\, acted in contradictory ways\, and happened to be queer\, they reveal hidden\, human nuances across queer history. At the Library\, Miller will offer a more critical perspective on the current status of LGBTQ politics\, asking who has been excluded from the political terrain\, how previous political failures have been glossed over\, and how introducing nuance into our understanding of queer identity can lead to a more just queer future.  \nAbout the speaker: \nBen Miller is a writer and historian living in Berlin. With Huw Lemmey\, he hosts Bad Gays\, a podcast about evil and complicated queers in history\, which has been downloaded nearly a million times; a book based on the show and passionately arguing for a more complex and political queer public history\, Bad Gays: A Homosexual History\, was published by Verso in 2022. Since 2018\, he has been a member of the board of the Schwules Museum\, the world’s largest independent institution devoted to archiving and preserving LGBTQI* histories and visual cultures. \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Miller will appear in the Reading Room)\, the Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. \nThis event requires advance registration. \nAttendance at this event constitutes permission for your photograph or video to be taken at the event and used by the American Library in Paris for marketing\, promotional\, pedagogical\, or other purposes.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1661353661878{border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #9e0143 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”] \nEvenings with an Author are free and open to the public (with a 10€ suggested donation)\nthanks to the generous support of Gregory Annenberg Weingarten of GRoW @ Annenberg.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Entre Nous: The Times of our Lives with Kate Briggs and Yasmine Seale
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In Kate Briggs’ The Long Form\, a day takes place. A mother wakes up with her daughter\, and proceeds to undertake her quotidian tasks. At the same time\, she embarks upon a reflection upon the ways the everyday is made. As the rhythms of motherhood prove fertile ground for rumination upon care\, love\, and creation\, the making of the day becomes analogous to the making of a novel\, which becomes the material of the novel itself. Briggs seizes upon a lack of action in order to build a space for the slow and spontaneous wanderings of the mind. Navigating multiple levels of storytelling\, time\, modes of writing\, and modes of thought\, she elegantly sweeps through the space of the text and the history of the written word as her character sweeps through the house.  \nAbout the speakers: \nKate Briggs is the translator of two volumes of Roland Barthes’s lecture and seminar notes at the Collège de France: The Preparation of the Novel and How to Live Together\, both published by Columbia University Press. She teaches at the Piet Zwart Institute\, Rotterdam. The Long Form\, her debut novel\, follows This Little Art\, a genre-bending essay on translation. In 2021\, Kate Briggs was awarded a Windham-Campbell Prize. \nYasmine Seale is a writer and translator based in Paris. Her essays on literature\, art and film have been published in Harper’s\, The Nation\, Paris Review\, and elsewhere. She is the author\, with Robin Moger\, of Agitated Air: Poems after Ibn Arabi (Tenement Press). Her translations from the Arabic include The Annotated Arabian Nights (W. W. Norton) and Something Evergreen Called Life\, a collection of poems by Rania Mamoun (Action Books). She is currently a fellow at the Columbia Institute for Ideas and Imagination\, where she is completing a translation of The Dove’s Necklace by Ibn Hazm\, an essay on the nature of love written in 11th-century Cordoba. \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Briggs and Seale will appear in the Reading Room)\, the Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. \nThis event requires advance registration. \nAttendance at this event constitutes permission for your photograph or video to be taken at the event and used by the American Library in Paris for marketing\, promotional\, pedagogical\, or other purposes.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Entre Nous series is co-organized by Columbia Global Centers | Paris\, the Institute for Ideas and Imagination\, and the American Library in Paris.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1666352729001{border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #9e0143 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”]   [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:(In person) Summer 2023 Writing Workshop: Form & Craft Meeting One
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Join 2022-23 American Library in Paris Visiting Fellow and author Adrienne Raphel for a two-part writing workshop dedicated to form and craft. \nIn this conversation and generative session\, we’ll be joined by author and professor Andrew Altschul to discuss the writing process from soup to nuts. Altschul and Raphel will lead a reading\, a conversation\, and a Q&A. Then\, they’ll lead a writing exercise\, with time to draft in the session and discuss as a group. \nAbout the workshop: \nA piece of finished writing can seem like it’s always already been in its perfect form\, polished from the moment it sprung out of its author’s head. But behind the scenes\, as every writer knows\, the final product is only the tip of an extremely complicated iceberg. \nIn this two-part workshop\, we’ll be exploring form and craft\, focusing on demystifying the process from first draft through revision and publication. Once you have a draft of something\, how do you revise it? How do you keep revising? And how do you know when it’s done? \nThe workshop will unfold over two main sessions. In the first session\, we’ll have a reading and conversation with author and professor Andrew Altschul. In the second session\, we’ll continue generating new ideas\, and we’ll also focus on how to keep re-thinking prior writing. Each draft will become a touchstone for a new conversation. \nThis series will take place in person at the Library on 8 June and 22 June from 19h00 to 20h30 CEST and is open to both Library Members and non-members. \nAbout the workshop leaders: \nAdrienne Raphel is the author of Thinking Inside the Box: Adventures with Crosswords and the Puzzling People Who Can’t Live Without Them\, named an Editor’s Choice by the New York Times Book Review; What Was It For\, winner of the Rescue Press Black Box Poetry Prize; and Our Dark Academia (2022). Her writing appears in the New York Times\, the New Yorker\, the Paris Review\, Poetry\, and many other publications. She has been a featured speaker at events such as the National Book Festival at the Library of Congress\, and she serves as a mentor with the Periplus collective. Raphel holds a PhD from Harvard\, an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop\, and a BA from Princeton. She is currently a Lecturer in the Princeton Writing Program and teaches with the Berlin Writers’ Workshop. \nAndrew Altschul is the author of three novels\, including most recently The Gringa. His stories and essays have appeared in Esquire\, McSweeney’s\, The Wall Street Journal\, Ploughshares\, and anthologies including Best New American Voices and O. Henry Prize Stories. A former Wallace Stegner Fellow and Jones Lecturer at Stanford\, he now teaches at Colorado State University. \nAdvance payment and registration is required: \nMembers rate: 40€ per participant. (Members please register here.) \nNon-members rate: 60€ per participant. (Non-members register here.) \nPlease email Emilie Biggs\, Programs Assistant\, biggs@americanlibraryinparis.org with any questions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Athletic Recruiting in American Universities (ages 14–Adult)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Playing varsity sports in college can create a sense of belonging\, help forge an important sense of identity\, increase executive functioning as well as academic performance\, and—in some cases—help in the admissions and scholarship process. But athletic recruiting for collegiate sports can seem like a maze: intentionally confusing with plenty of unforeseeable turns. In this presentation\, with Brooke Libby of College Goals\, we will discuss the landscape of American college sports\, the academic and athletic requirements for recruitment\, as well as some of the steps to begin the process—from attending summer ID camps to registering with the NCAA Eligibility Center. Students and parents with an interest in pursuing this path to American colleges and universities are welcome. \nAbout Brooke Libby: Brooke Libby loves working with teenagers and has over 25 years of experience in admission and academic advising in both high schools and colleges. She has helped hundreds of student athletes pursue opportunities to compete in varsity sports at the collegiate level — from alpine ski racing to Division 1 basketball\, sailing to baseball. Brooke is a member of NACAC\, NEACAC\, NPEA\, and IECA. \nAbout College Goals: College Goals is a university admission consulting practice specializing in counseling families interested in higher education opportunities in the US and in English-medium universities around the world.

SUMMARY:An Evening of Poetry with Adrienne Raphel and Megan Fernandes
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Join 2022-23 Visiting Fellow Adrienne Raphel and poet Megan Fernandes for a special evening dedicated to poetry. Celebrated as two of the most exciting poets of their generation\, both Raphel and Fernandes experiment across form\, language\, and sound to generate fragmented\, fleeting images of the current moment.
