THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

By invitation of the Center for Writers & Translators and the Goethe-Institut Paris, Esther Kinsky will read from and discuss her novel听Grove, winner of the Leipzig Book Prize in 2018 and forthcoming from Fitzcarraldo Editions this spring. A "field novel" in three parts,听Grove听is a work of bereavement that takes place in several Italian settings. Its听patiently alert sentences affirm Kinsky's reputation as one of the German language's finest stylists.听Esther Kinsky grew up by the river Rhine and lived in London for twelve years. She is the author of three volumes of poetry and several novels, including听River, whose English translation was acclaimed as "magnificent" (The New Yorker) and "a book to relish听for its precise descriptions of landscape and weather, for its interest in the detritus of other people鈥檚 lives that we routinely overlook, and for its international reach as well as its localized intensities" (The Guardian). She听has translated many notable English-language (John Clare, Henry David Thoreau, Lewis Grassic Gibbon) and Polish-language (Miron Bia艂oszewski, Zygmunt Haupt, Ida Fink, Olga Tokarczuk) authors into German.听

This event is free and open to the public, provided registration via the registration form below and presentation of picture ID.
