Each year, to celebrate European Day of Languages (26th September) and International Translation Day (30th September), Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation works with EUNIC (the EU National Institutes for Culture) to bring together an outstanding Irish writer with a group of their translators, to discuss how Irish literature is made available to people living in different cultural contexts.

This year, our special guests are award-winning writer Sally Rooney and her translators into Romanian, Slovenian and Spanish.

This event will be in hybrid format, so you can choose to attend in-person or online.

Born in Ljubljana and raised in South America (Colombia) until the age of 17(attending bilingual, Spanish-English, schools), Vesna Velkovrh Bukilica studied art history at the University of Ljubljana. After extensive journalistic work (comprising more than 400 articles) and independent published research in art history, she started focusing on literary translation mainly – but not exclusively - from English, Spanish, and French, and this is her main line of work. To date, she has translated approximately 50 books, mostly novels by some of the most prominent writers of the 20th century, including G. García Márquez, J.L. Borges, J. Cortázar, Arundhati Roy and many others.

Inga Pellisa is from Barcelona and landed her first job in publishing as a bookshop clerk, an experience that drove her to switch her university studies from chemistry to humanities. After several years working as an editor, which granted her a broad perspective on publishing, her interests led her to translation. Since 2011, she has had more than 60 translations published, including fiction, non-fiction and graphic novels. Authors she has translated include Janet Malcolm, George Orwell, Angela Davis, Ishmael Reed, Emma Cline, Garth Greenwell, Megan Hunter, John Lanchester, Judith Butler, Richard Hoggart, Patricia Lockwood, Natasha Brown, Julian Barnes and, of course, Sally Rooney.

While you wait for the event, you might find it interesting to listen to last year's discussion, when Colm Tóibín was in conversation with his French, Greek and Polish translators, Anna Gibson, Athina Dimitriadou and Jerzy Kozłowski.
