SUMMARY:'Get Lit' - Grand Slam de Traduction//Grand Translation Slam
DESCRIPTION:GRAND SLAM DE TRADUCTION // GRAND TRANSLATION SLAM \nSpace: L’Agora \nDeux duos de traducteurs·trices littéraires se livrent un combat de mots\, en parfait état livresque. Comment est-ce que chaque choix de traduction modifie le sens et le ton de l’œuvre finale? Venez assister à la métamorphose d’un texte\, alors qu’il passe d’une langue à une autre et qu’auteurs·trices et traducteurs·trices se penchent sur les nuances propres à la traduction littéraire. L’évènement est suivi d’une période de questions avec le public. (Présentation en français et en anglais.) \nTwo pairs of literary translators head into a bookish battle of words. How does each translation choice bend meaning and tone to create the final effect? Hear the texts morph from one language to the next\, as the authors and translators delve into the nuances of translating fiction. Followed by a Q&A with the audience. (Presented in French & English). \nHost: Katia Grubisic \nParticipants: \nMelissa Bull and Natalia Hero\, translating short fiction by David Clerson from French to English \nRachel Martinez and Éric Fontaine\, translating short fiction by Paige Cooper from English to French

SUMMARY:Lynda Barry + Chris Ware in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Librairie Drawn & Quarterly presents \nLYNDA BARRY + CHRIS WARE in conversation \nTickets:\nBook + Ticket Combo: Rusty Brown: $46.95+tx\n*Includes 1 copy of Rusty Brown by Chris Ware + 1 General Admission (book to be received at the event) \nBook + Ticket Combo : Making Comics $25.95+tx\n*Includes 1 copy of Making Comics by Lynda Barry + 1 General Admission(book to be received at the event) \nGeneral Admission : $10+tx \n(Présentation en anglais) \nABOUT THE AUTHORS \nLYNDA BARRY has worked as a painter\, cartoonist\, writer\, illustrator\, playwright\, editor\, commentator\, and teacher. She is the inimitable creator behind the seminal comic strip Ernie Pook’s Comeek\, and author of The Freddie Stories\,One! Hundred! Demons!\, The! Greatest! of! Marlys!\, Cruddy: An Illustrated Novel\, Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies!\, and The Good Times are Killing Me\, which was adapted as an off-Broadway play and won the Washington State Governor’s Award. Barry has written three bestselling and acclaimed creative how-to graphic novels for D+Q: the Eisner Award-winning What It Is\, and Picture This\, and Syllabus: Notes from an accidental professor. \nCHRIS WARE is widely acknowledged as the most gifted and beloved cartoonist of his generation by both his mother and seven-year-old daughter. His J immy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth won the Guardian First Book Award and was listed as one of the 100 Best Books of the Decade by the London Times in 2009. An irregular contributor to This American Life and The New Yorker (where some of the pages of this book first appeared) his original drawings have been exhibited in the Whitney Biennial\, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago\, and in piles behind his work table in Oak Park\, Illinois. \nABOUT THE BOOKS\nMAKING COMICS by Lynda Barry \nMaking Comics is the follow-up to Barry’s bestselling Syllabus\, and this time she shares all her comics-making exercises. In a new hand-drawn syllabus detailing her creative curriculum\, Barry has students drawing themselves as monsters and superheroes\, convincing students who think they can’t draw that they can\, and\, most important\, encouraging them to understand that a daily journal can be anything so long as it is hand drawn. \nBarry teaches all students and believes everyone and anyone can be creative. At the core of Making Comics is her certainty that creativity is vital to processing the world around us. \nRUSTY BROWN by Chris Ware\nA major graphic novel event more than 16 years in progress: part one of the ongoing bifurcated masterwork from the brilliant and beloved author of Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth and Building Stories. \nRusty Brown is a fully interactive\, full-color articulation of the time-space interrelationships of three complete consciousnesses in the first half of a single midwestern American day and the tiny piece of human grit about which they involuntarily orbit. A sprawling\, special snowflake accumulation of the biggest themes and the smallest moments of life\, Rusty Brown literately and literally aims at nothing less than the coalescence of one half of all of existence into a single museum-quality picture story\, expertly arranged to present the most convincingly ineffable and empathetic illusion of experience for both life-curious readers and traditional fans of standard reality. From childhood to old age\, no frozen plotline is left unthawed in the entangled stories of a child who awakens without superpowers\, a teen who matures into a paternal despot\, a father who stores his emotional regrets on the surface of Mars and a late-middle-aged woman who seeks the love of only one other person on planet Earth.
