Two translators discuss two European masters, available in English for the first time. Brimming with murder, suicide, royal leprosy and medieval witchcraft, Marcel Schwob’s stories (Schluter) are lost horror classics from the age of Poe. French Oulipo writer Anne Garréta’s novel (Ramadan) is an intimate, erotic, and sometimes bitter recounting of loves and lovers past, exploring the interplay between memory, fantasy, and desire. Co-sponsored by Greying Ghost Press.
