SUMMARY:Contemporary Translated Works Book Group: Sand-Catcher by Omar Khalifah\, Translated by Barbara Romaine
DESCRIPTION:Join the Contemporary Translated Works Book Group – Now Monthly! \nMechanics’ Institute\, in partnership with the Center for the Art of Translation and our new presenting partner\, Folio: The Seattle Athenaeum\, is thrilled to announce the expansion of the Contemporary Translated Works Book Group into a monthly\, member-led series! Beginning Spring 2025\, we will host lunchtime discussions (12:00–1:00 pm PT) online via Zoom on the third Wednesday of each month\, featuring thought-provoking literary selections from around the world. \nFour young\, Palestinian journalists at a Jordanian newspaper are tasked\, on account of their heritage\, with profiling one of the last living witnesses of the Nakba\, the violent expulsion of native Palestinians by the nascent state of Israel in 1948. The old man has no desire to be interviewed\, no desire for his memories to be preserved\, no desire to serve as an inspiration for the youth of tomorrow. As threats from the team’s editor-in-chief put more and more pressure on the journalists\, they must decide just how far they’re willing to go to get the old man on the record. \nJoin us at 11:30 AM for a Q&A with the translator before the discussion at 12:00 PM. \nFree to Folio members.\nLearn more and get tickets >> \nOrder Sand-Catcher >>

SUMMARY:International Book Club with ArabLit and Alice Guthrie
DESCRIPTION:About the Book \nMalika Moustadraf is a cult feminist icon in contemporary Moroccan literature\, celebrated for her uncompromising depiction of life on the margins. \nSomething Strange\, Like Hunger presents Moustadraf’s collected short fiction: haunting\, visceral stories by a master of the genre. Here\, we tune into Casablanca’s unheard: a sex worker struggling to keep warm on the streets; a housewife flirting with strangers online; a kidney patient\, priced-out of treatment\, facing the harsh reality of his condition; and a mother scheming to ensure her daughter passes a virginity test. Something Strange\, Like Hunger is a sharp provocation to patriarchal power\, and a celebration of the life and genius of one of Morocco’s preeminent writers. \nAbout the Author \nMalika Moustadraf (1969–2006) was a writer from Casablanca\, Morocco\, celebrated for her distinctive style and experimental language. An exacting social critic\, she wrote unflinchingly about life in the margins and was persecuted for her taboo-busting subject matter. Denied the life-saving treatment she needed\, Moustadraf died at thirty-seven of kidney disease\, leaving behind a semiautobiographical novel and a collection of short stories. Something Strange\, Like Hunger is the first full-length translation of her work into any language. \nAbout the Translator \nAlice Guthrie is an independent translator\, editor and curator specialising in contemporary Arabic writing. Her work often focuses on subaltern voices\, activist art and queerness (winning her the 2019 Jules Chametzky Translation Prize). She programmed the literary strand of London’s Arab arts biennale Shubbak Festival between 2015 and 2019\, and has curated queer Arab arts events for the Edinburgh International Book Festival\, Outburst International Queer Arts Festival and Arts Canteen. Guthrie teaches translation at the University of Exeter and the University of Birmingham.
