DESCRIPTION:The Wife’s Tale is a 'beautiful\, complicated [and] sensual 
 account'\, according to Ondaatje prize judge and novelist Michèle Roberts
 . Its 'original form and newly minted language create a strong\, delicate 
 structure embodying her grandmother’s spirit and will to survive.' The b
 ook tells the story of Aida's grandmother\, Yetemegnu\, through her marria
 ge to a cleric and poet two decades older than her\, fascist occupation\, 
 and the rise and fall of Haile Selassie.\n\nAt Wolfson\, Aida will talk ab
 out The Wife’s Tale and explore the following questions: How do you reco
 rd the life in English of a woman who did not speak English? How do you do
  justice to her singular voice\, while also providing the context that inf
 orms that singularity? How do you tell the history of a rich and ancient c
 ulture\, as far as possible on its own terms? What do you listen to and wh
 en do you really start to hear?\nSpeakers:\nAida Edemariam
