The Author in the Mirror

“In the beginning was the Word,” the Logos, the divine principle of creation. The flow of syllables that build the line, then the paragraph, then the chapter and finally the novel. A sequence navigated first by the writer and then by their trusty counterpart, the translator. Join Daniele Mencarelli and Annette Kopetzki, the voices behind Mencarelli’s novels and many other Italian works, in a discussion on the art of writing and translating. From the genesis of a work - echoed in Mencarelli's latest book, Brucia l’origine - to its rebirth in another language.
