National Book Award honorees Bruna Dantas Lobato (The Words That Remain by Stênio Gardel, 2023 Translated Literature Winner; and Blue Light Hours) and Douglas Stuart (Shuggie Bain, 2020 Fiction Finalist; and the international bestseller Young Mungo) bring an international perspective to the page that feels all too familiar: flawed characters endeavoring to love one another. This event will feature readings and conversation on the push and pull of original works and works in translation, and the representation of queer love and pain in fiction.

Moderated by Natalie Green, Director of Programs & Partnerships at the National Book Foundation, and presented in partnership with the Hay Festival Forum Dallas.

This is a ticketed event ($5), please purchase your tickets at the Hay Festival Forum Dallas website.
