Last Friday, I went to an event at PEN World Voices at the Public Theatre that featured Palestinian poet Najwan Darwish and two of his translators. Issues that came up, how do you translate such culturally bound terms as "tea boy," lover vs. mistress, bathroom clogs, and eviction? M. Lynx Qualey posted
my write up on
Arabic Literature (in English) as well as a great write up of a more comprehensive event, "
All That is Left to You," which featured a panel of Palestinian writers moderated by Elias Khoury.
