A brief note: The wonderful Karen Emmerich read at the Center for the Art of Translation this past week—catch a lovely summary of her reading here, at the Quarterly Conversation.

And to top it off: Three Percent has a note about/summary of Scott Esposito’s summary. Which I think is officially “buzz.” We’re sorry to have missed seeing Karen in person—
We’re very excited about the March issue of Words Without Borders—edited & with an introduction by Karen Emmerich and focusing on Greek literature.
It includes “Can Anybody Hear Me?” a short story from Ersi Sotiropoulos’s Landscape with Dog, to be released this fall, and an excerpt from Margarita Karapanou’s The Sleepwalker, out in spring 2010. (And if you like that, please do check out Margarita’s Kassandra and the Wolf and Rien ne va plus, coming in the fall). And there’s a wonderful translation of Vassilis Alexakis by Andriana Mastor.
More fantastic work by Words Without Borders! We’re honored to get to be a little part of it this month–
