La Maison Française NYU
16 Washington Mews, New York, United States
Eight years ago, the Maison Française hosted a remarkable conversation on the art of translation and the work of French writer, ethnographer, and pioneer of modern confessional literature Michel Leiris, to coincide with the release of Lydia Davis's translation of Fibrils (2017), the third volume in Leiris's great autobiographical cycle, Rules of the Game. Now, as the fourth and final volume of that cycle, Frail Riffs (2024), is published in Richard Sieburth's translation, the Maison reconvenes many of the same participants for an extraordinary panel of distinguished writers, translators and scholars, all of whom have translated or edited Leiris's works: Lydia Davis, Brent Hayes Edwards, Denis Hollier, and Richard Sieburth.

Tickets for Frail Riffs / Frêle bruit: Michel Leiris in Translation can be booked here.
