"Latin American Literature in Translation" and "The Portuguese Tale"

These were the two panels I was unable to attend at the Miami Book Fair. Both sounded really interesting, with Aida Bardales (Criticas), Johanna Castill (Atria Books), Valerie Miles (Santillana), Lorin Stein (FSG), Andrea Montejo (agent), and David Unger (author) discussing Latin American literature in the first, and with Dedi Felman (Words Without Borders), Clifford Landers (translator), Sergio Machado (Record Publishing), and Goncalo Tavares (author) reading Portuguese literature in the second.

It sucks that the two truly international panels took place while other panels were occurring (the reviewing panel and the banned books one), but at least podcasts will be available in the near future for those of us who missed out. (Maybe this is something that will be addressed for next year . . .)
