Summary
New York celebrated our third anniversary with an impressive range of translators who read from a selection of their favorite pieces published by Asymptote and discussed the role of translated literature in today's English-speaking world in a panel afterwards. Among the speakers was Cory Tamler, the winner in the fiction category of the first edition of our translation contest, Close Approximations; Eliot Weinberger, the poetry judge, presented the winning poetry entry. Alisha Kaplan of Words Without Borders notes, "Despite the onset of winter storm Janus, the Housing Works Bookstore Café was packed."
