The Transnational Series hosts author Rene Karabash and translator Izidora Angel to honor the release of She Who Remains with Kristin T. Lee

EVENTBRITE REGISTRATION

Join the Transnational Literature Series at Brookline Booksmith for a virtual event with author Rene Karabash and translator Izidora Angel to discuss and honor the release of She Who Remains. They will be in conversation with writer Kristin T. Lee.

She Who Remains, Rene Karabash’s landmark Bulgarian queer novel, secrets readers into a rural Albanian village where the Kanun of Lekë Dukagjini—a collection of archaic laws—looms over the lives of the residents with the same haunting presence as the surrounding mountains. Bekija, painfully aware of why she cannot have what she most wants, chooses to become a “sworn virgin,” setting off a bloody and heartbreaking chain of events that shatters a family and destroys a cherished relationship, but also reveals how trauma can lead to vital, if uncomfortable, truths.

Rene and Izidora will present She Who Remains on the eve of the International Booker Ceremony.

Tickets can be purchased here.
