Before I Forget: an evening with Stevens Prize-winning translator, Dina Leifer
"Before I Forget" is a daughter's narration in the aftermath of her father's death. She sifts through her memories alongside his remaining belongings, considering the complicated, contradictory man she knew with tenderness and dark humor.
Join us for a discussion on difficult relationships, absurdity in death, and translating grief.
Tickets are redeemable against a copy of the book on the night of the event. No proof is required for concession tickets.

The Adventures of Ursula K. Le Guin in Latin America, part one: Chile - The Bookless Bookclub
A new session of the Global Sci-Fi Bookless Bookclub with Javi!
For this session, we'll be trying something slightly different from how we usually proceed. This Sunday, we'll explore literature by Ursula K. Le Guin: a masterful world-builder, as well as one of the most renowned authors of science fiction and fantasy (and one of our favourite writers here at Tills!)
We'll explore Le Guin's relationship with Latin America and its writers. We'll read some of her translations of poems by Gabriela Mistral (the first Latin American writer to win the Nobel Prize), and some of her own poems in praise of Latin American literature and excerpts of her short story "Sur".
We will take this as an opportunity to reflect on how literature travels around the world, and on literature beyond the Anglosphere, chaperoned by the one and only Ursula K. Le Guin.
As always, no need to read anything in advance! Just show up!
