Book NowAs part of the Arts in Action series, we welcome Keith Payne and the University Translator in Residence, in conversation with Lorna Shaughnessy.
Literary translation allows us to experience an ever-increasing range of literary works from all around the world. Is it a tool, another art form, or something different altogether? Join Keith, the University Translator in Residence, and Lorna as they discuss the craft, the process and the business of translating.
In association with the School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, University of Galway and Arts in Action
