David Pittu unpacks his full valise of vocalizations in this exceptional story of encountering one of the planet's least seen animals—the snow leopard. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Alan Minskoff discuss this immersive audiobook by Sylvain Tesson, read by Pittu with a careful pace and style that reveal the workings of the famous French travel writer's philosophical mind. The descriptions of the places traveled are lovely and inspiring, and the interactions with the elusive snow leopard are remarkable and almost otherworldly.

Jill Halfpenny stars in a new tv thriller The Drowning. Nine years ago, Jodie’s little boy disappeared on a picnic by the lake, presumed drowned, and she’s never been able to accept his loss. Now, out of the blue, she catches sight of a teenage boy and she’s sure that it’s her missing son. Jill talks to Samira about why she likes playing morally ambiguous characters, shares her own personal experience of loss and how grief is a monster you just can’t outrun. The British Library has just acquired the archive of the Theatre Royal, Stratford East and Helen Melody, Curator of Contemporary Literature and Creative Archives, tells Samira Ahmed about its treasures: scripts, performance recordings, letters, photographs, rehearsal notes, press cuttings and props. The archive also contains material from the tenures of later artistic directors, such Philip Hedley and Kerry Michael, who notably encouraged diversity and inclusion, Black and Asian theatre, and work made by people with disabilities. We mark the publication of a landmark anthology of queer writing, Queer: A Collection of LGBTQ Writing from Ancient Times to Yesterday, which brings together an unusually broad range of voices from across the ages and the globe to form a survey of queer literature. Editor of the anthology, Frank Wynne, will be joined by writer and artist Morgan M Page, host of trans history podcast One From the Vaults, for a discussion about the cyclical nature of attitudes towards sexuality and gender and to highlight some lesser known voices in the tradition from India, Mexico and Greenland.

Published at a time when Magic Realism was at its peak, Que viva la música -by Andrés Caicedo or Liveforever as it has been published in English by Penguin Modern Classics- is one of the very few Latin American novels that until this day celebrates youth culture. Tragically commemorated since its young author committed suicide the same day he received the first printed copy, it is a cultural and spiritual portrait of a city, Cali in Colombia, in the early 1970s. A deceptively subversive novel in terms of its language and the emotional politics of urban youth. A remarkable literary gem still unknown outside its native Colombia. This programme, part of the Authors in Search of a Reader series, was recorded in front of a live audience at the Instituto Cervantes in London with the stellar participation of its translator, Frank Wynne, and the linguist and educator Gustavo García. The talk is presented by the Institute's Director in London, Ignacio Peyró, and moderated by Juan Toledo

In the second episode of our two Man Booker International Prize 2018 podcasts, host Joe Haddow delves into this year's shortlisted books with actor and author Charlie Higson and the Writers in Translation Programme Manager from English PEN, Theodora Danek. We then head to the Victoria & Albert Museum for the exciting winner ceremony, where Joe catches up with shortlisted translator Frank Wynne and journalist and TV personality Ian Hislop.  We also hear from László Krasznahorkai, who was awarded the prize in 2015 and shortlisted this year for The World Goes On, who discusses the effect of the award on writers in their native countries. Last but certainly not least, Joe speaks to this year's winning author Olga Tokarczuk and translator Jennifer Croft to see how they feel just 24 hours after the award. They discuss Olga's novel Flights, the impact they feel the prize will have on her career and what her upcoming projects are.

With Boyd Tonkin, former chair of the International Booker and author of the forthcoming The 100 Best Novels in Translation, and Frank Wynne, nominated in the International Booker shortlist for his translation of Virginie Despentes. Presented by Sam Leith.

We were so enthralled listening to Frank Wynne that decided to record a programme in English too. We spoke of preserving the subjunctive in English; the inverted prayer evoked when Spanish and Irish people swear; the verbs and tenses used by the media to score political points and the imprecise art of translating poetry plus how some books are better in a foreign language than in their original. Hear from one of the best known translators in English language what it really takes to become a literary translator and how the internet has changed the profession in the last fifteen years.  With María Lema, Juan Toledo, Andre Lopez Turner plus a few cacophonous trains

Es uno de los traductores más galardonados de nuestros días y si usted es lector de novelas extranjeras en inglés, es muy posible que ya haya disfrutado de alguna de sus traducciones. Ha vertido al inglés obras de Michel Houellebecq, Ahmadou Kourouma, Claude Lanzmann, Tómas Eloy Martínez, Tómas Gonzáles y más recientemente la poesía de Pablo Picasso. Hablamos con Frank Wynne de sus orígenes irlandeses, de si prefiere traducir del castellano o del francés, de su juventud en París, de su días en Costa Rica y de como una aseadora colombiana que limpiaba casas en Londres se convirtió en su asesora principal durante la traducción de Que viva la música (Liveforever) la obra "joyciana" del desaparecido autor caleño Andrés Caicedo. Con Jorge Ramirez, María Lema, Juan Toledo y algunos trenes de SouthEastern

Novelist Naomi Alderman reports on the art of translating fiction, with writers Ian McEwan, A S Byatt, Ali Smith and David Baddiel. Every novelist dreams of being translated into dozens of foreign languages, but the relationship between author and translator can be fraught. If it goes right, it can lead to close friendship - but what happens when it goes wrong? And is a translation ultimately closer to being an original work than we might think? Naomi also joins three professionals for a translation slam. Adriana Hunter, Daniel Hahn and Frank Wynne discuss their different English versions of paragraphs from the French novel Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne.
