Some Scandinavian cool will be making its way to DC over the next two weeks--with some phenomenal culinary, literary, theatrical, and musical events taking place at The Kennedy Center and around the city. Click here for the full program.
A special highlight for local translators is definitely going to be next week's Literature Panel: From Classics to Crime-Translating Nordic Fiction for American Readers.
This free event will include a lively conversation with award-winning translators Steven T. Murray, the renowned translator of Stieg Larsson's best-selling "Millennium" series, and Tiina Nunnally, who has translated Pippi Longstocking and fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen. Literary columnist Katherine A. Powers will moderate as these two literary translators delve into the joys, frustrations, and controversies surrounding translating popular fiction.
So, if you are in the DC area, grab some ice wine and check out one of these events. Also, don't miss the Nordic Boutique on Level A and the LEGO Exhibit and Play Space in the Nations Gallery.

I don't know why, but the Pippi theme reminds me a lot of АНТОШКА :-)
