Translator Damion Searls joins 3 experts to explore how translation is fundamentally an act of deep reading, not mere language conversion
About this Event

Award-winning translator Damion Searls joins scholars, translators, and writers Matvei Yankelevich, María José Zubieta and Emily Apter to explore his fresh take on the art of translation. Drawing on his experience translating sixty books from multiple languages, Searls argues that translation is fundamentally a way of reading—one that goes far beyond mere information processing to become a complex interpretive act.
