On Oct 13 from 2-3:30 pm (EST) there will be a reading and event devoted to Libuše Moníková’s novel Transfigured Night, a novel by the émigré Czech writer recently published by Karolinum Press.
Whereas Kundera’s transition from Czech to French in his emigration has been much discussed and documented, the much lesser-known Moníková’s writing in German represents an interesting parallel.
The event will feature the novel’s translator Anne Posten as well as writer and translator Meghan Forbes in discussion with Columbia’s Harriman Institute’s Christopher Harwood. The event can be viewed on zoom or YouTube and the links are provided on the event page.
