On January 8, AATIA's Literary Special Interest Group presented a literary evening with translator and writer Achy Obejas, whose translation of Ena Lucía Portela's novel One Hundred Bottles was recently published by Austin's own University of Texas Press. 

If you were lucky enough to attend, you remember Obejas regaling the audience with stories about meeting and working with Portela, as well as her work with Junot Diaz and Cuban crime fiction.

If you missed the event, or if you would like to relive some of the more memorable moments, video clips are now available.  Click here to view all twelve. And check this space soon for a link to a full-length video of a very special evening.

Issue 50 of Source, featuring Literary Division highlights from the ATA’s Fall Conference in Denver, is now available. Contributions include a review by Nora Seligman Favorov of the LD’s After Hours Café recitals; an essay by Martha Kosir on “The Echo of Translation, from Poetry to Religion and Fable”; a lyrical fable by Tony Beckwith concerning the song of language; and a humorous recollection by Ann Cefola of her first efforts to translate the work of French poet Hélène Sanguinetti.
