Translator seminar / book fair in Kiev and Lviv

Between 30th May and 6th June, NORLA will be in Ukraine together with two of spring’s “New Voices.” At the book fair in Kiev we will participate in several events about literary collaboration, Gudrun Skretting will present his hot new translation to Ukrainian and Øystein Morten will lecture on Norwegian Vikings in the Kiev Empire. After Kiev, we are all traveling on to host a translation seminar in Lviv, where there is an active university environment and many Norwegian translators.
The visit is being organised in cooperation with the Norwegian embassy in Kiev.
