In Other Wor(l)ds: Travelling through Translation
Caponeu event19.03.2026
“We’re about to embark on an epic journey across the world’s fiction, travelling paths forged by the magic of translation” (Natasha Brown)
An evening of word theatre and discussion on the topic of travelling through translation.
Music will be provided by the Inter Alios choir, interspersed with performed readings of literature in translation, all reflecting the theme of travel in its broadest sense and providing context for a discussion with Natasha Brown, author of the multi-prizewinning novel Assembly (2021) and the Booker-longlisted Universality (2025) in her role as Chair of the International Booker Prize jury, and Professor Duncan Large, former director of the British Centre for Literary Translation. There will be space for audience questions.
In Other Wor(l)ds is a collaboration between the Cambridge research team for the EU Horizon/UKRI project ‘The Cartography of the Political Novel in Europe’, the Inter Alios choir of Churchill and Murray Edwards Colleges, directed by Dr Ewan Campbell, and the In Other Words project of Tills Bookshop in Edinburgh.
