Gŵyl Haf | V&Q Books Present: The Blacksmith’s Daughter (and talk all matters Turkish, German and Anglophone) @gwylhaf8891 | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
V&Q Books present Ayça Türkoğlu and Katy Derbyshire in conversation with Selim Özdoğan. How do you translate family anecdotes into a novel? How do two people translate one book? Are translators and writers literary anthropologists, explaining unfamiliar settings to their readers? Join the translators and the writer of The Blacksmith’s Daughter as they talk process – all about a trilogy of novels tracing a woman’s life between Turkey and Germany. Includes sneak peaks from book two!
