Intertwined Territories: Translating Maylis Besserie’s Irish Trilogy

Prof. Clíona Ní Ríordáin, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris

Clíona Ní Ríordáin is Professor of English at the University Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3, where she teaches Irish literature and translation studies and convenes the Master’s programme in Irish Studies.

In this seminar she will discuss her translation of the novels of Maylis Besserie, author of a trilogy of novels which take Irish subjects as their point of departure: the first devoted to the end of Samuel Beckett’s life, the second to the reburial of WB Yeats’s remains, and the third deals with Francis Bacon.

This seminar is part of the TRANSLATION AND THE TERRITORY SEMINAR SERIES, AUTUMN 2022.  Events organized by the Emily Anderson Centre for Translation Research and Practice funded by the University of Galway’s Researcher Development Scheme.
