On May 3, 2011, about 140 people gathered under the tent on Sampsonia Way to listen to Kyung-Sook Shin, from South Korea; Hervé Le Tellier, from France; and David Bezmozgis, from Latvia and now living in Canada. American poet Terrance Hayes moderated the event, which was sponsored by City of Asylum/Pittsburgh in partnership with PEN/America.
The writers read excerpts from their work and fielded questions about translation and genre as part of City of Asylum’s “Reading the World” series.
Read Sampsonia Way’s interviews with Hervé Le Tellier and Jean Kwok.
