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.
On Saturday, October 12 at 7:00pm CDT, this livestreamed 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.
The livestream will be available for free on the Hay Festival’s website for 15 days. Following, it will be added to Hay Festival Anytime, a subscription-based platform with audio and videos for worldwide Hay Festivals.
