Would you like exclusive live access to Norwich Showcase readings and discussions?
Sit back in your favourite chair, grab your desired viewing device and enjoy a live stream from the
Norwich Showcase.
This session is a discussion about translation, its power and the creative aspect of it.
Daniel Hahn, Ros Schwartz and Frank Wynne will explore the boundaries and fluidity of literary translation. Each translator will be given a piece of text to translate individually in advance, and will then come together to compare and contrast their versions of the text and discuss the art of translation.

our YouTube page a few days after the event.
