The Club is a series of workshops in which students, translators, and enthusiasts of Brazilian literature meet to discuss the translation of a selected contemporary Brazilian short story.
It is is a partnership between Ana Cláudia Suriani da Silva, Senior Lecturer in Brazilian Studies, Department of Spanish, Portuguese & Latin American Studies, UCL, and Nara Vidal, writer and owner of Capitolina Books.
Each session a different member reads out their translation and leads the discussion. The sessions are fun and very productive.
Anyone who translates from and into Portuguese or has some knowledge of the language is welcome.
