Long overdue, we finally have this wonderful recording from the BCLT Summer School 2019, featuring Swiss-Albanian writer Elvira Dones, her translator Clarissa Botsford and publisher Stefan Tobler. Chaired by Rosie Goldsmith, it’s a wide-ranging discussion taking in themes of identity, linguistics, translation processes and the creation of Elvira’s book Sworn Virgin.
This event took place in partnership with the British Centre for Literary Translation, with support from Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia.
Meanwhile, Simon and Steph talk about lots of exciting NCW things, from the Book Club and drop-in writing sessions to the new Creative Writing Online courses and the exciting announcement of Noirwich Crime Writing Festival 2020.
