UEA LECTURE THEATRE 1

Monday 9 October 2006

7pm

 Hans Magnus Enzensberger is one of Germany's most distinguished writers
and thinkers. He was also a lifelong friend, editor and mentor of W G
Sebald, who died five years ago this autumn just as his unique and
remarkable voice was beginning to reach a wider public.

In conversation with the award winning writer and translator, David
Constantine, Hans Magnus Enzensberger discusses his relationship with
'Max' as well as his own work as a writer and self translator, and his
relationship with the UK and with the English language. They will also
look at the wider issues of the status and responsibilities of the
writer in society.

The evening also includes the presentation of the annual Translation
Prizes, celebrating the best in contemporary translation.
