What Is It to Be Invisible?

Portugal Portugal

Goethe-Institut Tokyo

English / Japanese with consecutive translation

Join renowned Portuguese author Ricardo Adolfo and his Japanese translator, Maho Kinoshita, for a discussion marking the release of the Japanese translation of Adolfo's novel Lots of Things Happened to Me After I Died. The book delves into themes such as illegal immigration and the resulting sense of alienation, with Adolfo's distinctive writing style blending lightness and absurdity, even when addressing challenging social issues. This event offers a rare opportunity to gain insights into the author's creative decisions and their connection to his personal experiences. A book sale and signing will follow the event.
