On Monday, October 26th, I’ll be giving a Russian Science Fiction Reading at Swarthmore College, reading from my translation of Olga Slavnikova’s 2017. For time and location, click here.

Later that same week, on Thursday, October 28th, I’ll be giving the 12th Annual Marilyn Gaddis Rose Lecture at the annual conference of the American Translators Association.  The Literary Division has asked me to speak about “The Literary Translator and U.S. Publishing”—a subject dear to my heart.  The conference is being held at the Hyatt Regency in Denver.

What are our reasons for producing new translations of the classics, and are those reasons valid?  Do these translations serve the author, the translator, the publisher, the reader, or some combination of all four?
