Anglo-Finnish Society

Thursday 18 October
Talk by Emmi Itäranta “Writing fiction in two languages”

Emmi Itäranta studied Drama at the University of Tampere and subsequently worked as a columnist, theatre critic, dramaturge, scriptwriter and press officer. Her first novel, Memory of Water, has its origins in course work which she did when studying for an MA in creative writing at the University of Kent. The Finnish version, Teemestarin kirja, won the Sci-fi and Fantasy Literary Contest organised by the Finnish publisher Teos. She will talk about the process of writing two versions of her work in different languages and how this can actually help the writing process.

The meeting will be held at St Giles International, 154 Southampton Row, WC1B 5JX at 6.30 for 7.00pm. Please let us know if you would like to attend (email secretary@anglofinnishsociety.org.uk or tel. 020 8361 7434). ... See MoreSee Less
