Italian Fiction and The Bridge

The next event in The Bridge series—a reading and discussion series for literary translation that takes place at McNally Jackson in NYC and is organized by Bill Martin and Sal Robinson—is tied into the Chicago Review special issue on New Italian Writing that we wrote about yesterday.

Taking place on Wednesday at 7pm, Michael Moore (Chair of the PEN Translation Fund and an interpreter/translator for the Italian Mission to the United Nations) will read from his work, as will Patrick Barron, who has a few translations in the aforementioned special issue of the Chicago Review.

This event will serve as the NYC launch for the “New Italian Writing” issue and will surely be entertaining and informative.

If anyone attends and wants to write this up for us (or write a review of the Chicago Review), just let me know. Either post a comment or email me at chad.post [at] rochester.edu.
