Conversation at Trinity College Dublin

Please join us for a conversation with acclaimed Greek writer Dimitris Lyacos, author of the Poena Damni trilogy. Lyacos’s works, known for their genre-defying form and avant-garde fusion of literature, philosophy, and myth, have been published exclusively in translation. Our discussion will explore the challenges and creative possibilities of translating, considering its fragmented narrative, intertextual depth, and multilingual influences. We will also examine how translation, including indirect translation, shapes the reception of work across cultures and literary traditions.Dimitris Lyacos in Conversation – Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation
