SUMMARY:Léonora Miano - English Translation Release of "Season of the Shadow"
DESCRIPTION:We’re incredibly excited to be hosting the author\, Léonora Miano\, in collaboration with the Cultural Services French Embassy in the US. We’ll have more info about the event’s specific program soon! \nLéonora Miano is the author of Season of the Shadow\, published in the United States by Seagull Books (distributed by the University of Chicago Press) in April 2018 in a translation by Gila Walker. \nBorn in Cameroon\, Léonora Miano moved to France as a student. She has written fourteen books that have been translated into many languages. Miano’s award-winning first novel\, L’intérieur de la nuit\, was released in 2005 and translated in English by Tasmin Black. Her other books include Contours du jour qui vient\, which was awarded the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens in 2006. Upon its release in France in 2013\, the book Season of the Shadow won the prestigious Fémina prize and the Grand prix du roman metis. \nAbout the book: Season of the Shadow \n(Seagull Books\, 2018\, Translation by Gila Walker) \nThis powerful novel recounts the early days of the transatlantic slave trade in the perspective of its first victims\, the sub-Saharan population. Léonora Miano presents a world on the brink of disappearing—a pre-colonial civilization with roots that stretch back for centuries. One day\, a group of villagers finds twelve of their people missing. Where have they gone? Who is responsible? A collective dream\, troubling a group of mothers in a communal dwelling\, may hold some of the answers\, as the women’s missing sons call to them in terror. At the same time\, a thick shadow settles over the huts\, blocking out the light of day. It is the shadow of slavery\, which will soon grow to blight the whole world. \nMiano renders this brutal story in deliberately strange\, dreamlike prose\, befitting a situation that is\, on its face\, all but impossible for the villagers to believe.

SUMMARY:Jessica Hopper
DESCRIPTION:Jessica Hopper\, author of The First Collection of Criticism By A Living Female Rock Critic\, dicusses her new memoir\, Night Moves. \n\nPraise for Night Moves \n\n“Jessica Hopper’s Night Moves reads like a diary—immediate and urgent. Hopper and her friends prowl the streets of Chicago on bicycles\, always moving\, surrounded by both the city and a cocoon of occupied affection. It’s full of music and pets and friendship and made me feel as if the heating bills in Chicago would be worth it\, if one could have this sort of busy\, free life. The book exists in that space between fact and fiction\, between novel and memoir—but I knew right away that every word was true.” Emma Straub\, best-selling author of Modern Lovers \n\n“In Night Moves\, Jessica Hopper opens the window to a past that might have been my past\, or your past\, or the past of someone you know. It is a book of poems\, it is a memoir\, it is a living journal\, all at once. This is the best writing—personal\, but with two arms held wide open to invite you in. Night Moves is a book teeming with generosity. It gives and gives and asks only for an eager imagination in return.” Hanif Abdurraqib\, author of They Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us \n\n“In this vivid collection of snapshots from Hopper’s life as a beneficent renegade rock girl\, she manages to communicate so much more than what happened and what she thought about it. She takes you with her\, on every steamy summer bike ride\, to every jukebox and rock show and dive bar in her wild\, sweet young life.” Lizzy Goodman\, author of Meet Me in the Bathroom: Rebirth and Rock and Roll in New York City 2001–2011 \n\nAbout Night Moves \n\nWritten in taut\, mesmerizing\, often hilarious scenes drawn from 2004 through 2009\, Night Moves captures the fierce friendships and small moments that form us all. Drawing on her personal journals\, Jessica Hopper chronicles her time as a DJ\, living in decrepit punk houses\, biking to bad loft parties with her friends\, exploring Chicago deep into the night.
