702 Hamilton Hall, Columbia University
On April 12, 2013, the Harriman Institute will present an evening with the
celebrated Russian writer Mikhail Shishkin, who will read from his novel
"Maidenhair." On hand will be translator Marian Schwartz who will read from
her translation of the novel published late last year by Three Percent. The
evening will conclude with a conversation between author and translator.

Shishkin has won all three of Russia's major literary awards: the Russian
Booker, the National Bestseller and the Bolshaia Kniga Prize. The
translation of his novel "Maidenhair" has already shown up on short lists of
best translations of 2012. The translation of his novel "The Light and the
Dark" was just published in the UK. He is teaching a seminar on "Classics
and Politics in Russian Literature" at Columbia this month. Marian Schwartz,
past President of the American Literary Translators Association, is a
prize-winning translator. The principal translator of the works of Nina
Berberova, Schwartz's recent translations include the work of Slavnikova and
Gelasimov.
