Hi, all--

Okay, I have sprint dates: April 1-5, with Cyndi's reading on Thursday, April 4. That's all for now.

Subject: Possible spring event

Hi all,

Guillaume Paugam in French & Italian has proposed to me that we apply for Humanities Center funding for another translation event in spring. It would involve a French novelist he writes on, Arno Bertina, who sounds very interesting -- he is the author of several novels that have received a lot of attention in France, and is one of the editors of what sounds like a cool and cutting-edge French magazine and press, Inculte<http://www.inculte.fr/>. Bertina has a new book<http://counterpathpress.org/brando-my-solitude-arno-bertina> coming out in the US, Brando, My Solitude (Counterpath) that's been translated by Laird Hunt<http://lairdhunt.net/>. (Hunt you may know of -- he publishes with Coffee House -- has a number of books out, including a new book called The Kind Ones that I haven't read and one I liked some years ago called The Impossibly. I've known him for a long time -- good guy.)

Would you support this event? I think it might look good on the application if someone from fiction co-signed the grant application (I'm not asking you to put in any work on the application itself). The next Humanities deadline is January 11.

Guillaume mentioned March/April for the visit -- tight times I know, and I saw your email about the sprint, Margaret -- we will be careful about the dates.

Thanks,

Cathy
