In Jacek Dukaj's Ice, the Tunguska asteroid has plunged the world into eternal winter, freezing not just the land but history itself. A Polish mathematician is sent deep into a transformed Siberia - and into one of the most inventive alternate histories ever written. Joining Dukaj is translator Ursula Phillips, whose remarkable English translation navigates the novel’s intricate tensions between Polish, Russian, and a deranged reality. Together they explore the art of carrying audacious imagined worlds across languages. Chaired by Uilleam Blacker.
