The Literary Translators Club
October 6, 2009Yesterday Tina and I went to CCEBA (Centro Cultural de España en Buenos Aires) in Paraná Street. There they have a Literary Translators Club. Yesterday’s guest was Patricia Willson. She is a translator and has the Doctor of Humanities. Amoung other authors than Borges she has translated some work of Roland Barthes, Paul Ricoeur, Richard Rorty, Gustave Flaubert, Mary Shelley, Jack London and H.P. Lovecraft. This night’s Topic was “Come en Casa de Borges”: Uso de la traducción en ‘El Borges’ de Adolfo Bioy Casares (”Eat at Borges’ house”: Use of the translation in Adolfo Bioy Casares’ ‘El Borges’). It was sometimes difficult for me to understand everything still it was interesting. The lecturer of our translation course was there too. She is a friend of Patricia. After her presentation we she went with us and six others of the audience to a café to enjoy the warm night (22pm: 22°C) having a drink and a snack and talking and discussing about translations and other topics.
