Early November, Berrie Vugts interviewed Michele Hutchison, the main guest at our festive opening event for the realization of the Leeskabinet Reading Without Borders collection at Erasmus University College. View the interview. Hutchison, winner of the International Booker Prize for her translation of Marieke Lucas Rijneveld's The discomfort of evening, speaks enthusiastically about the art of translation.
The event, with poetry readings, music and an inspiring opening speech by EUC Dean Gabriele Jacobs can also be viewed in its entirety.
We are proud to have realized this project for a diverse and very enthusiastic group of young students. Thanks to the support of our Leeskabinet members.
