**What Is a Translation Slam?

 

Our two jousting literary translators have been given the same excerpt of the French text La Vague (The Wave) by Ingrid Astier to translate into English. On the night, they will reveal, compare and defend their translation to you, the audience.

You don’t need to know French; the texts they will be comparing are in English.

You will be amazed at the differences in their translations, and through their explanations of their choices and decisions you will discover the art of literary translation …
