Award-winning literary translator, editor, and critic Daniel Hahn returns to the Festival with his popular translation workshop, taking you through the process of translating a piece of fiction and the painstaking, exhilarating work it takes to find the right words. This two-hour session is for enthusiastic novices who want to improve their practice – and anyone who is fascinated by the nuances of language.

Daniel Hahn is no longer able to appear and this event will go ahead with Iona Macintyre and Fiona Mackintosh, both Senior Lecturers in Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies at the University of Edinburgh.
