Ian Rankin in conversation

How does the pace, setting and jargon typical of crime fiction get carried across from one language and cultural context to another? What are the challenges of translating in that genre from French to English and vice versa? Join us for a unique opportunity to hear Sir Ian Rankin discussing such topics with Professor Siân Reynolds, experienced translator of French crime writing. The event will be chaired by Jenny Brown, Literary Agent. Duration: 1h | Followed by a verre de convivialité.

Ticketed event organised by the Society of the Friends of the French Institute. Reservation essential, limited capacity. £20.
