About event
Did you like the summer "Minute (A)void" as we called it? We have another one ready for you, this time winter, with the option to choose a suitable book gift under the tree. Four female translators and two male translators will talk about their hot new products, which you will be able to purchase on the spot. It will be translated books from different languages and different genres. Each of the participants will have exactly seven minutes to present the book. Their speech will therefore be brief, clear, without unnecessary circumlocutions. What remains unsaid and what you would still like to know about the books will be given space in a free discussion that will follow a short musical performance. Organized by (A)VOID Floating Gallery and Translators' Community. Who and what can you look forward to?
