Publisher Description: In volume 1 of Trafika Europe, Andrew Singer gathers choice offerings from the first year of the quarterly journal of the same name. These fourteen selections--from seven women and seven men, seven poets and seven fiction writers--represent languages across the Continent, from Shetland Scots and Occitan, Latvian and Polish, Armenian, Italian, Hungarian, German, and Slovenian to Faroese and Icelandic. With some of the most accomplished writing in new translation from Europe today, this volume opens a window onto some emerging contours of European identity. Former ASCAP director of photography Mark Chester complements the writing with sumptuous black-and-white photos. The contributors are Vincenzo Bagnoli, Ewa Chrusciel, Christine DeLuca, Mandy Haggith, Stefanie Kremser, Aur lia Lassaque, Wieslaw Myśliwski, J anes Nielsen, Edvīns Raups, L szl S rk zi, Marko Sosič, J n Kalman Stef nsson, Nara Vardanyan, and Māra Zālīte. |
