Tess Lewis is a translator from French and German. Her translations include works by Peter Handke, Walter Benjamin, Anne Weber, Lutz Seiler, Philippe Jaccottet and Montaigne. Her translation of Maja Haderlap's
Angel of Oblivion won the ACFNY Translation Prize and the 2017 PEN Translation Award. A Guggenheim and Berlin Prize Fellow, she serves as an Advisory Editor for
The Hudson Review and has curated the
Festival Neue Literatur, New York City's annual festival of German language literature in English.
These peer-to-peer workshops, hosted by Annie Rutherford, are aimed at emerging and established literary translators working from any language into English. Meet fellow translators to discuss your work and the joys and challenges of (literary) translation.
Participants are invited to bring along an excerpt from their current work-in-progress (up to 1000 words, prose, poetry or non-fiction, destined for publication or pleasure) to share and workshop.
