Episode Synopsis

While politics can involve seemingly abstract decisions, "literature can remind us of the stakes at human level," argues Boris Dralyuk.  In this episode, the translator, author and editor-in-chief of Los Angeles Review of Books talks about translators giving voice to the voiceless, and the raison d'etre of literary criticism in today's fragmented cultural landscape. Boris Dralyuk's debut poetry collection My Hollywood and Other Poems came out in April 2022 on Paul Dry Books.
