Erin Lamm Publishes Translation
Erin Lamm (2016 Graduate, PhD in French Language & Literature) has just published a combined translation of Algerian author Maïssa Bey’s Do You Hear in the Mountains . . . ? and Under the Jasmine, At Night with the University of Virginia Press. The work draws on Lamm’s doctoral thesis, which she defended in 2017. Here is a review from Amazon.com:
Maïssa Bey is widely recognized as one of the most important contemporary Algerian women writers. Her works are often cited alongside those of Assia Djebar, Leïla Sebbar, and Malika Mokeddem as feminist voices speaking out against various forms of oppression imposed upon women of Algerian origin. As the newest voice in this group of writers, Bey deserves equal consideration and exposure to English-speaking audiences. (Anne Carlson, Spelman College)
Congratulations to Erin for successfully publishing her dissertation, and bringing this important Algerian writer to the anglophone world!
