Generations of Love. A small-town coming-out novel set in Italy & scored to an ‘80s pop-music soundtrack. A gay hero who keeps family, friends & community intact. No drama. No suffering. Leavened with irony. Generations doesn’t end happily; it ends well. #PitMad #gay #translation

How can we take stock of relationships built over a lifetime? A seventy year-old man comes out and explains his love for "Uncle Andrea" in this charming and affectionate letter to a son by Antonio Calgan. Translated from Italian by @WARicketts:

Generations of Love. A post-gay-lib roman à clef: no torment, no drama & a love story to boot. Our hero knows his place in his small Italian town, and it’s right where he is. Who says he has to give something up to be himself? https://t.co/I1pOTKx9Z5 #PitMad #LGBTQ #translation

Generations of Love. A gay, post-liberation roman à clef: no torment, no drama, lots of humor & a love story to boot. Our hero knows his place in his small Italian town, and it’s right where he is. Generations doesn’t end happily, but it does end well. #PitMad #gay #translation

Generations of Love. A hero’s journey in a post-liberation #gaylit key: no torment, no drama, a healthy dose of irony. A college student in small-town Italy comes out with ‘80s pop-music as his soundtrack. Generations doesn’t end happily; it ends well. #PitMad #gay #translation

If you're looking for guidance/a model contract for #Literary #Translation, the @PENamerican Center's is great (https://t.co/aqxXknC8o9), but CEATL's is better, especially on issue of #copyright (https://t.co/Tp2eTS9euX). #translators

[ProvenWrite @provenwrite]

I wish these issues would be discussed openly and seriously at ATA @atanet and at ALTA @LitTranslate. Why so much resistance to aking a firm stand against copyright "rustling"?

[ProvenWrite @provenwrite]

.@NOTISnet Because so many just-starting-out translators had questions about copyright & translation yesterday at the conference, here's a little more. The research is 4 years old, but not much has changed: https://t.co/pPVizavFmO #translationDay #translators #Copyright
