Encounters: Dörte Hansen and Anne Stokes in Conversation

This Encounter features author Dörte Hansen, whose novel 'Altes Land' (2015) was voted 'Favourite Book of the Year' by German independent booksellers in the year of its publication, and Anne Stokes, whose translation of the novel was published by St Martin’s Press under the title 'This House is Mine' (2016) and was long-listed for the 2018 International DUBLIN Literary Award. The novel tackles issues of refuge, home-making and belonging across the past century, focusing on women of several generations, who find refuge in an old farm building in Northern Germany and against the odds make it their home. The event offers an opportunity to listen to author and translator discussing text, context, and translation process ― and to join in their conversation.
