There is an unspoken understanding that nursing is both an art and a science. Often, you will be called to use your critical-thinking skills and training to help save lives. Other days, you will need to show compassion and understanding to meet the needs of your patients. Most days involve a combination of both. And some days, it means breaking the rules to allow a cat in the ICU. Doctor of nursing practice student Megan McDowell reflects on sneaking a pet into the ICU so a patient could say a final goodbye.   This essay placed second in the 2024 Hope Babette Tang Humanism in Healthcare Essay Contest and was published in the November 2024 issue of Academic Medicine. Read the essay at academicmedicine.org.

On this episode we speak to Alejandro Zambra about his latest book, Childish Literature; a chronicle of early fatherhood. Written in a 'state of attachment', it is a beautiful collection of roaming essays, poetry and short stories - that show how the birth and growth of a child changes not only the present and the future but also reshapes our perceptions of the past. We also hear from Alejandro's close friend and translator Megan McDowell on the process of their working relationship and her role in bringing this graceful, funny and poignant account of parenthood into being.'Every beat and pattern of being alive becomes revelatory and bright when narrated by Alejandro Zambra. He is a modern wonder.' Rivka Galchen, author of Everyone Knows Your Mother is a Witch Childish Literature is published by Fitzcarraldo  @fieldzine www.fieldzine.comwww.patreon.com/fieldzine

Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Kendra Winchester discuss a new collection of stories from one of Argentina's most beloved authors, Mariana Enriquez, translated by Megan McDowell. It's performed by an ensemble cast, and the dark tales often feature the magical, mysterious, and bizarre. One standout includes Lee Osorio's narration of “A Face of Disgrace,” in which Osorio's voice is full of the protagonist's panic and horror as her face begins to disappear. Annette Amelia Oliveira expertly performs “My Sad Dead,” capturing the protagonist's nonchalance as she explains that she can see ghosts as they wander her neighborhood.

This week we're joined by super reader Ron Restrepo for a discussion about Roberto Bolaño, whom Rodrigo Fresan described as “one of a kind, a writer who worked without a net, who went all out, with no brakes, and in doing so created a new way to be a great Latin American writer.”Do we unlock the mysteries of Bolaño's magic? Probably not.

The process of auditioning an audiobook narrator, including deciding on celebrities or full-cast recordings. How much the author's relationship has grown to incorporate production input — especially for books in translation or featuring foreign language text. The decisions behind when the author narrates their own audiobook — fiction vs nonfiction. How producers court celebrities to narrate audiobooks.

A novelist, a translator and a theorist of translation walk into a Zoom Room......Alejandro Zambra, Megan McDowell, and Kate Briggs provide the perfect start to Season 4 of Novel Dialogue. Our first themed season is devoted to translation in all its forms: into and out of English and also in, around, and over the borders between criticism and fiction. We talk to working translators, novelists who write in multiple languages, and we even time travel to discover older novels made new again in translation. How perfect then to begin with Kate, whose 2017 This Little Art is filled with translational brainteasers: how do I translate characters speaking French in a German novel? what does it mean that “A translation becomes a translation only when somebody declares it to be one”? In this episode, Alejandro and Megan discuss their working relationship and share both Spanish and English passages from Alejandro's most recent novel, Chilean Poet. There follows a dazzling discussion of poetry within novels, of struggling to be “reborn” as you learn a second language “as something that no longer goes without saying.” Alejandro proposes that to speak Spanish itself, (except “bestseller Spanish”) is already to pivot between the language as it's spoken differently in different countries. Finally, the new ND “signature question” engenders a cheerful tirade from Megan that brings the conversation to a delightfully feisty conclusion.

A novelist, a translator and a theorist of translation walk into a Zoom Room......Alejandro Zambra, Megan McDowell, and Kate Briggs provide the perfect start to Season 4 of Novel Dialogue. Our first themed season is devoted to translation in all its forms: into and out of English and also in, around, and over the borders between criticism and fiction. We talk to working translators, novelists who write in multiple languages, and we even time travel to discover older novels made new again in translation. How perfect then to begin with Kate, whose 2017 This Little Art is filled with translational brainteasers: how do I translate characters speaking French in a German novel? what does it mean that “A translation becomes a translation only when somebody declares it to be one”? In this episode, Alejandro and Megan discuss their working relationship and share both Spanish and English passages from Alejandro's most recent novel, Chilean Poet. There follows a dazzling discussion of poetry within novels, of struggling to be “reborn” as you learn a second language “as something that no longer goes without saying.” Alejandro proposes that to speak Spanish itself, (except “bestseller Spanish”) is already to pivot between the language as it's spoken differently in different countries. Finally, the new ND “signature question” engenders a cheerful tirade from Megan that brings the conversation to a delightfully feisty conclusion.

Forrest Gander, Christina MacSweeney, Megan McDowell, Achy Obejas, Nathan Scott McNamara To translate an author's work—staying faithful to their vision, style, and message, in a language not their own—is to assume an awesome responsibility: one that hasn't always gotten its just due as an art form. Four of today's most noteworthy and acclaimed translators of Latin American contemporary literature will shed light on the origins, rewards, pitfalls, and complexities of their discipline. Christina MacSweeney, a recipient of the Valle Inclan prize, has translated the works of leading Spanish-language authors including Valeria Luiselli, Jazmina Barrera, and Elvira Navarro. Megan McDowell, who received the English PEN award and whose works in translation have been nominated four times for the International Booker Prize, has translated many of the most important Latin American authors working today, including Samanta Schweblin, Alejandro Zambra, and Mariana Enriquez. Havana-born translator Achy Obejas, who has worked with Wendy Guerra, Rita Indiana, Junot Díaz, and Megan Maxwell, is also the author of a recent collection of poetry written in a mostly gender-free Spanish and English. And Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Forrest Gander, also a renowned translator, will share insights from his distinguished career. Find out why translation is a journey of never-ending discovery, creativity, and lessons in cross-cultural sensitivity and communication.Sponsored by the Center for the Art of Translation.

"Hablar de lo diferente, lo que está al margen" es parte de la obra de Mariana Enríquez (Buenos Aires, 1973), una de las escritoras más emblemáticas de una literatura contemporánea que está llena de lo sordido, la inmolación, el horror, de fuego, lo punk, lo urbano, de poner el cuerpo. Periodista y docente, escribe novela, cuento, crónica y periodismo y ha publicado varios libros gráficos y con ilustraciones como Ese verano a oscuras (Páginas de espuma, 2019) y El año de la rata (ilustraciones de Dr. Alderete) (Los libros del Zorro Rojo, 2021). Su primera novela Bajar es lo peor (Editorial Espasa-Calpe, 1995) fue reeditado por Anagrama en este 2022. Otros de sus libros son: en novela, Nuestra parte de noche (Anagrama / Vintage, 2019) y en cuento Los peligros de fumar en la cama (Anagrama, 2017) y Las cosas que perdimos en el fuego (Anagrama, 2016). Sus obras piensan la sociedad y la forma en que una "hipocresía consensuada" permite que lo malo suceda. Su libro The Danger of Smoking in Bed traducido por Megan McDowell, ha sido seleccionado para la lista del Gran Prix de L'Imaginaire (GPI) (2022) y Los Ángeles Times Book Prizes “Ray Bradbury Prize for Science Fiction, Fantasy & Speculative Fiction” (2022). Su obra se considera parte de lo que se ha llamado "la nueva narrativa argentina", y ha recibido numerosos premios a nivel internacional. El Premio Nobel Kazuo Ishiguro seleccionó su libro Nuestra parte de noche uno de los mejores libros del 2021 y Thierry Clermont del diario Le Figaro la ha llamado “la reina del realismo gótico”. Vean su perfil más completo y mucho más de sus libros en www.hablemosescritoras.com y para los Estados Unidos www.shopescritoras.com.

Daniel Mella is one of the leading writers in contemporary Latin American literature. Born and based in Montevideo, Uruguay, he is a two-time winner of the Bartolomé Hildago Prize. His autofiction novel El Hermano mayor (2017) is his first translated into English, by Megan McDowell, as Older Brother (Charco Press, 2018). In this episode, he discusses the difficult process of converting the real-life tragedy that inspired the novel into a fictionalised account, the dangers of viewing the world through aesthetic eyes, and the revelatory power of dreaming. ‘It wouldn't have been a true book if it was only sad.'Craft is brought to you by Wasafiri, the magazine of international contemporary writing and Queen Mary University of London with funding from Arts Council England.

Students have homework, this week's guest on "Happiness through Hardship" -  The Podcast, provides heartwork. I'm honored to introduce you to Megan McDowell, founder of the non-profit, Heartworks. She’s a licensed therapist and enthusiastic leader that sparked a movement focused on conscious giving, kindness and self-awareness in honor of her brother-in-law, John Farrell, who passed away on September 11, 2001. When I first heard about Megan, I knew I wanted to interview her. Not only does her organization follow what I believe in, how small acts of kindness can change the world and thus change ourselves, she also personally radiates positivity. Her story is motivational - how she took a horrible tragedy and built something to continually help others. She took a community who knew grief and gathered them to give back by organizing acts of kindness to others going through hardship. Megan's incredibly motivating showing how the benefits of community, caring and spreading love can help heal and provide hope for both the givers and receivers. No matter where you are in life...this episode will surely bring a smile. If you like it, please rate, review and subscribe. You leaving a review helps us with our podcast ranking.

What if times of extreme change or even trauma was exactly what you needed for personal growth. In essence, this is the question that Megan Mcdowell leaves us all to ask ourselves. After losing a brother in law in the 911 world trade center attacks, Megan was able to stand witness to and experience the rich experience of community that can come when “we are all on our knees at the same time”. A few years later she founded Heartworks NJ, a foundation that helps people recover through the early stages of trauma, grief, and loss. During the episode, Megan shares an uplifting perspective that we can all use to see the beauty and learn the lessons that a global crisis can bring.  Her timeless message of truth, kindness to oneself, and those around you is something we can all be reminded of.

If you're someone who worries or has ever been called sensitive... this is for YOU. We talk about moving through hard feelings, why joy can feel like a scary emotion, what happened when a healer wished me 1,000 broken hearts, and much more! Megan is so special to me and I'm grateful to share this conversation.
