On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Jennifer Croft discusses and reads from Homesick and her translations.
Lunch provided.
Jennifer Croft is the author of ‘Homesick’ and ‘Serpientes y escaleras’ and the co-winner with Nobel Laureate Olga Tokarczuk of The International Booker for the novel ‘Flights’. She holds a PhD in Comparative Literary Studies from Northwestern University and an MFA in Literary Translation from the University of Iowa, and her recent writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Paris Review, The New York Review of Books, The Los Angeles Review of Books and Granta.
‘Homesick’ is a coming-of-age memoir about learning to love language in its many forms, healing through words and the promises and perils of empathy and sisterhood.
