SUMMARY:Book Launch: Mistranslation
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the launch of Mistranslation by author Madeleine Moss\, in conversation with Eleanor Henderson! \nAbout the book: In upstate New York in 2001\, nine-year-old twins Sabina and Camilla spend the summer weathering the moods of their erratic mother while finding themselves pulled toward diverging interests. Their lives are shaken up by the arrival of an Arab French family across the street. Thrilled by what she sees as a link to the country of her origins\, Sabina attempts to befriend the family’s son\, Khalil\, and is rebuffed for reasons she doesn’t understand. Yet as the twins and Khalil come of age\, they are drawn into a tense and ever-shifting triangular dynamic. Mistranslation is a continent-spanning chronicle of family\, inheritance\, and the reverberations of the choices we do or don’t make. \nAbout the author: Madeleine Moss grew up here in Ithaca\, New York\, and holds a degree in French literature from Cornell University. She received her MFA in fiction from Washington University in St. Louis in 2020. Her debut novel\, MISTRANSLATION\, has been named a “Most Anticipated Book of the Year” by Debutiful. She currently lives in Strasbourg\, France\, where she teaches middle and high school English. \nAbout the conversation partner: Eleanor is the author of the memoir Everything I Have Is Yours: A Marriage\, which was named a New York Times Notable Book and a Best Book of 2021 by Vogue; and the novels The Twelve-Mile Straight\, and Ten Thousand Saints\, which was named one of the 10 Best Books of the Year by The New York Times and a finalist for the Award for First Fiction from The Los Angeles Times. It was also the basis for the movie adaptation 10\,000 Saints starring Ethan Hawke. A Professor in the Department of Writing at Ithaca College and a 2024 NYFA Fellow in Fiction\, she will publish her next novel\, The Galaxy\, in August 2027.
