What happens to a story’s essence when it's changed from one language to another? Two acclaimed French translators, Vineet Lal and Ros Schwartz, present their own interpretations of the same text – The Boy by French novelist Marcus Malte, who joins the event today. Together the three writers prove that each translation is a creative work in its own right. No knowledge of French is required to enjoy this event. Hosted by Daniel Hahn.
