This is from 2015, and it is better written than I expected it to be. Being written for the Smithsonian, it quite naturally glosses over some of the more salacious aspects of Sade's life.

After the conference & day trip, it was time for meetings. We did plenty! I took part in delegation meetings with #AcademiaSinica and #NTU (National Taiwan Univ.), but there were many more. We learned about exchange opportunities, memoranda were signed, and we presented each others' research priorities and focus areas, and found lots of overlap! #Biodiversity #WorldLiterature #Sinology #DigitalHumanities #ArtifcialIntelligence #NaturalLanguageProcessing, to name just a few. #tcdh #UTrier

A colleague from Academia Sinica presenting on exchange programs, here opportunities for Taiwanese colleagues wanting to go abroad.

One particular building on the campus of Academia sinica, in red brick with a rotunda building, and with a lush green landscape around, including some palm trees.

A beautiful, large, intensely green and somewhat umbrella-shaped tree on the park-like campus of NTU.

Slide in tones of blue from a presentation at #NTU about their research focus areas, among them "Digital Arts and Humanities" and "Sustainable Science". Also, their number of publications: 55,700 and citations: 1,079,700.

Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo, is a 1400 page novel that defies description. Originally published in serial form, I read the Everyman’s edition, which described it as the story of Jean Valjean, and insofar as his story anchors the narrative throughout, that is an accurate description.

But the novel is really epic in proportion, weaving many characters lives together while trying to capture the moment of revolution and the lead up to it.

It is a deep reflection on society and humanity, starting from a reflection on the impact that those who act selflessly can have on the community around them, the corrupting rather than reformative power of the modern carceral system, how a cruel society creates the very people it identifies as aberrations.

While its digressions can at times become tedious, the narrative overall is captivating, propulsive, and in terms of its social commentary, remains deeply relevant to our society today. Perhaps because, despite our striving, we remain in the modern era that Hugo wrote about.

I’ll be spending the next two months on this momentous novel. Come along if you like.

QOTD: Have you read Les Miserables?

László Krasznahorkai, world author (I.) - the system of literary translations in the 21st century
https://translationpatterns.substack.com/p/laszlo-krasznahorkai-world-author
Our (András Kiséry and myself) new blog post is about the most frequently translated contemporary Hungarian writer's road to his present position in the world literature. First part. #BibliographicData #worldliterature #translation

I’m sure you all have seen the TikTok debates about whether books are political or not. In the case of José Rizal and his body of work, his two novels were not only resoundingly political and anticolonial, but Rizal himself was executed by the Spanish colonial regime in the Philippines not because he was a part of the planning of the Philippine Revolution of 1896 (He was not), but because of his novels. The military claimed his novels had incited the revolution.

Imagine being such a powerful storyteller that a corrupt state decides to execute Yu on the grounds that your novels moved people to action. That is the power of storytelling and literature.

Of course, this story remains deeply resonant and relevant not only to the Philippines, but in the U.S., where efforts to ban books rage on, revealing how threatened some officials feel by the power of storytelling even as we’re told that studying literature is frivolous.

Remember José Rizal, and take some comfort in knowing the power of words and the power of communication to effect change.

There is undoubtedly more to be said about the relationship between the novel and the nation, but I’ll leave this month’s series at: I hope you’ll consider reading Rizal.

Happy International Translation Day! High-quality translations between languages drive global commerce and make world literature possible, enabling a great author in one country to inspire a writer in another land whose work then influences authors elsewhere, in an endless exchange of creativity and inspiration.

Well-crafted, artful translations, performed by skilled human beings, make all of that possible. Hats off to my fellow translators! 😃
