Join us for a conversation with translator, writer, and editor
Daniel Hahn on his new book,
If This Be Magic: The Unlikely Art of Shakespeare in Translation.
Through playful and illuminating exploration, Hahn reveals how the world’s most famous playwright is continually reinvented across languages, cultures, and centuries. How does Shakespeare remain Shakespeare—even when every word is changed? Hahn invites us into the strange, exacting, and often joyful work of translation that makes the Bard readable from Bogotá to Borneo. Renowned Shakespeare scholar
James Shapiro will join Hahn in conversation.
