Seminar for German language translators in Hamburg

24–26 November NORLA will hold a seminar for German language translators at the Hamburg House of Literature. The seminar will take place immediately preceding Nordische Literaturtage, where a number of Norwegian authors will be represented.

The translators will meet authors Alfred Fidjestøl, Birger Emanuelsen and Tiril Broch Aakre, and will take part in workshops, producing sample translations of work by the latter two writers. The seminar is fully subscribed, with a total of 40 translators registered to attend.
