Kayla and Taylor continue discussing the themes and major beats in the second part of Mieko Kawakami's 2008 novel Breasts and Eggs. Topics include the inevitable end of the human race, the vastness of space, and the tragedy of being born. It's a really fun episode!This week's drink: Ume Highball via DiversivoreINGREDIENTS:1 oz whisky1 oz umeshu1 tsp ginger juice (from crushed or grated fresh ginger)3.5 oz soda chillediceginger thinly sliced, to garnishINSTRUCTIONS:Prepare the ginger juice by grating a portion of fresh ginger and squeezing/straining out the juice.Fill a tall glass with ice (I like a nice crushed ice here, but it does tend to melt fast - use large pieces if you're looking for a slow sipper).  Combine the whisky, umeshu, and ginger in a small glass or cocktail shaker and pour down the side of the glass (rather than over the ice itself).Top with soda, once again pouring down the side of the glass.  Stir gently and garnish with a ribbon of thinly sliced ginger.  Serve immediately.Current Reads and Recommendations (and fun links!): All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me by Patrick BringleyThe Cold Dish: A Longmire Mystery (#1) by Craig JohnsonEileen by Ottessa MoshfeghThe Self-Esteem (CBT) Workbook for Adults by Marcee A.

This podcast is all about the first half of May's book, The Animals in that Country by Laura Jean McKay published in 2020 (up to page 140 “I need a rinse under the tap and a lie-down” if you're reading alongside).  The idea of the podcast is that we'll split a book into two equal halves — a book that I and perhaps you have never read. In the first podcast, published on the second Friday of the month, we'll discuss the first half. And then in the second podcast (published on the last Friday of the month - 27th May), we'll look at the second half of the book (in this case from page 140). We'll see together how the novel concludes and decide whether it's a book we'd recommend to a friend - or not. Of course, you don't have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I'll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers). You can leave a comment or start a conversation at the BookShook YouTube channel (link below) or send an email to bookshook@yahoo.com. The book we'll be reading for June is Howard's End by E.M. Forster (382pp) (so get that ready if you're going to read alongside). Thanks for listening to BookShook! RogerContent Warning: There are adult themes in the novel (and some swearing). I have removed any swear words from dialogue. Please check the content of the novel before listening to the podcast.This episode will be available until August but all episodes can be listened and discussed at the  BookShook YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-UchFXG7hqzGyGQ7l1YIpgFuture Reads:June: Howard's End by E.M. Forster (382 pages) July: Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon (902 pages)August: Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk (trans. Antonia Lloyd-Jones - 266 pages)

Never mind the poetry, here’s the white bits. Frank has a wild night out with the Polish poet, Tadeusz Dabrowski. Poems Referenced: I Believe All Round the Clock - Tadeusz Dabrowski (translated from Polish by Antonia Lloyd-Jones) Soiree - Tadeusz Dabrowski (translated from Polish by Antonia Lloyd-Jones) Bunny Slope - Tadeusz Dabrowski (translated from Polish by Antonia Lloyd-Jones)

Dlaczego trudno przetłumaczyć książki Masłowskiej? Czy Polaków da się zrozumieć? O pierwszej styczności z językiem polskim, obyczajowości i seksie opowiedziała tłumaczka Antonia Lloyd-Jones. I najważniejsze: jak to jest tłumaczyć dzieła noblistki? Na rozmowę zapraszają Agnieszka Szydłowska i Dorota Masłowska.

If you’re a despot, there are two people you can’t lie to, your doctor and your chef. This is one of the nuggets explained to me by Witold Szabłowski, author of How to Feed a Dictator: Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin, Enver Hoxha, Fidel Castro, and Pol Pot Through the Eyes of Their Cooks (Penguin, 2020), translated from the Polish by Antonia Lloyd-Jones. The author, a tireless journalist, used his skills at getting people to talk and his knowledge of cooking to convince those who served some of the 20th century's most infamous tyrants to open up about the men who employed them, what they ate, and what food can tell you about power. An enlightening, terrifying and deliciously informative read. Since I co-authored a book about Donald Trump, we had some things to discuss about cheeseburgers and fries as well.

The author, a tireless journalist, used his skills at getting people to talk and his knowledge of cooking to convince those who served some of the 20th century's most infamous tyrants to open up about the men who employed them, what they ate, and what food can tell you about power. An enlightening, terrifying and deliciously informative read. Since I co-authored a book about Donald Trump, we had some things to discuss about cheeseburgers and fries as well.

My first interview with a translator of children’s books (from Polish to English). I chat with Antonia Lloyd-Jones about translating ‘Oscar Seeks a Friend’ by Pawel Pawlak and the role she plays in promoting literature from other countries to U.K. publishers. Fascinating!

Przedstawiamy nagranie dyskusji panelowej Uwaga na tłumacza z udziałem Leszka Engelkinga, Magdy Heydel, Antonii Lloyd Jones, Julii Różewicz i Tomasza Swobody.

Adama Mickiewicza oraz Wydział Polonistyki Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego. Rozmowę prowadzili Borys Szumański i Weronika Szwebs. Poruszono szereg tematów, m.in: Tomasz Swoboda o niedoskonałościach, błędach i niezrozumieniu oryginału w pracy tłumacza Leszek Engelking o językowej alienacji tłumacza, który z natury działa na pograniczu języków Magda Heydel dopowiada o niezrozumieniu oryginału oraz tłumaczeniu jako procesie poznawczym i interpretacyjnym Julia Różewicz o swojej perspektywie jako wydawczyni i tym, jak wpłynęła ona na jej pracę tłumaczki, a także o sytuacji na polskim rynku książki i poprawianiu oryginałów Antonia Lloyd Jones o realiach promowania polskiej literatury w świecie anglojęzycznym i  Magda Heydel o widoczności tłumaczy A także wiele innych zagadnień, m.in. kwestię retranslacji (tłumaczenia na nowo książek mających już przekłady), presję rynku na jakość tłumaczeń, budowanie środowiska tłumaczy, poprawianie autorów nieżyjących itp.

Today, two perspectives on loss and memory.“I close my eyes and I can hear the bells…ringing; each one rings differently. I can hear the splash of the fountains on the Marketplace, and the soughing of the fragrant trees, which the spring rain has washed clean of dust. It is coming up to ten o’clock and the place is so quiet that I can recognize the people going past by their footsteps as they hurry home for dinner. I recognize the footsteps of people who ceased to walk this earth long ago. There’s no one but shades clacking their heels on the well-worn pavement slabs.”So writes the Polish author Jozef Wittlin, conjuring up his native city of Lviv in his essay My Lwow, which he wrote in exile in New York in 1946.The essay has been recently translated into a whimsically lyrical English by Antonia Lloyd-Jones and published in a haunting new book entitled City of Lions.Wittlin was fortunate to escape. He was in Paris at the outbreak of World War II. After the collapse of France he managed to escape via Portugal to the United States and continued writing. He passed away in 1976.Wittlin was baptized and considered a Christian writer. But he always spoke openly of his connection to the Jewish world. Before the Second World War, he published reviews of Polish Jewish poetry and foreign literature on Jewish subjects. Critics consider that the Holocaust inspired some of his best poems.Wittlin’s wry and often joyful reminiscences of his city were those of an early twentieth century Lviv still glittering with an imperial Austrian splendor. It was a city he called “Diversified, variegated, as dazzling as an oriental carpet.” And it was a city that ceased to exist by 1945.City of Lions includes the matching essay My Lviv by Philippe Sands, an international legal expert and professor of law at University College London. Sands’s essay echoes the Wittlin text by providing a parallel meditation on a very different Lviv as it is today.What brought Sands to Lviv? He writes, “I returned because of the darkness, not in spite of it… it felt like home, a place of origin, where family began.” Sands’s grandfather Leon was born in the city in 1904 but never spoke of it to his family. Sands came to see the wounds behind the silence.Sands observes “Lviv is an assault on the senses and the imagination. Much has been hidden, but nothing is lost, not completely, especially if you are willing to do your homework and search carefully.”And search he did, discovering also that two giants in international law, both considered creators of the modern human rights movement, studied law at Lviv University. Rafael Lemkin is famous as the man who invented the word “genocide.” Hersch Lauterpacht created the concept of “crimes against humanity.”The writer Eva Hoffman, in her preface to City of Lions, notes that both essays “are pervaded by a sense of the city’s almost magnetic fascination—and of great loss.”Wittlin concludes his elegiac paean to Lviv with a phantasmagorical scene. Historic characters from the city’s colorful past join forces in a surreally celebratory huge crowd that streams endlessly around the city center.Sands, in his ending, mirrors Wittlin’s procession through the ghosts of Lviv. Sands however is more measured and skeptical, calling out the failure of those in today’s Lviv to fully acknowledge all its history.

Arranged in a “conversazione” format, four translators discuss what it means to assert and champion the forgotten voices of minor and marginalised European languages. With Peter Mackridge (Oxford); Antonia Lloyd-Jones; Paul Vincent (UCL); Sarah Death Chair: Kasia Szymanska (Oxford).

Experienced theatre translator Sasha Dugdale and Chris Campbell, Literary Manager at the Royal Court, tracked the movement of a play text as it passed through the hands of a translator, writer, dramaturg, director and finally the actors, examining what a piece can gain through this process, and what gets left behind. 2015 FOUND IN TRANSLATION AWARD CEREMONY Polish Book Institute, Polish Cultural Institute London, and Polish Cultural Institute New York were delighted to present Ursula Phillips with the 2015 Found in Translation Award for her translation of Choucas by Zofia Nalkowska (2014, Northern Illinois University Press).
