DESCRIPTION:Join award-winning Polish reportage writer and journalist Mari
 usz Szczygieł in conversation with his translator Antonia Lloyd-Jones and
  publisher Linden Editions about his work\, Not There. \n \nNot There is a
  collection of literary reportage about loss\, absence and memories from o
 ne of Poland’s most celebrated writers. Szczygieł follows a Czech poet\
 , a Ukrainian soldier\, a Polish accountant\, an Albanian poet and an Isra
 eli writer as they account for their losses and gains\; tracing lost conve
 rsations\, cheese forks\, poems\, houses and lives. It is beautiful\, prof
 ound and quietly uplifting. His work may be an inventory of losses\, but 
 ‘its pages are alive with the traces of what is not there: it is a medit
 ation on absence that hums with the quiet pulse of what remains’ (Frank 
 Wynne\, Irish Times). \n \nMariusz Szczygieł is one of Europe’s most ce
 lebrated journalists. A reporter for Gazeta Wyborcza\, he is the author of
  a number of books of reportage about the Czech Republic and Poland. His b
 ooks have been published in twenty-one countries and have been awarded the
  Europe Book Prize and the Prix Amphi\, among other honours. From 1995–2
 001\, he hosted a popular talk show on Polish television. Szczygieł runs 
 the Institute of Reportage in Warsaw\, a creative writing reportage school
 \, and Dowody na Isnienie\, an independent publishing house. Not There won
  the Nike Award and Nike Readers' Award in Poland on publication in 2019.\
 n \nAntonia Lloyd-Jones translates fiction\, non-fiction\, poetry and chil
 dren’s books from Polish. Her translation of Drive Your Plow Over the Bo
 nes of the Dead by 2018 Nobel Prize laureate Olga Tokarczuk was shortliste
 d for the 2019 Man Booker International prize. For ten years she was a men
 tor for the Emerging Translators’ Mentorship Programme\, and is a former
