All are welcome and admission is free, but registration is required.
Please join the Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation (TCLCT) for a special evening with literary translator Hans-Christian Oeser. Chris will be in conversation with Professor Michael Cronin at a special event to mark the publication of his 250th book. His publications include 200 translations. In April 2026, Chris was conferred with the highest honour - an honorary doctorate (D. Litt) - by Trinity College Dublin, in recognition of his life's work and exceptional contribution to his field.
Chris and Michael will discuss the world of literary translation today and how things have changed over the course of Chris's career, during which time he has become one of the best-known names in the world of literature translated into German.
The event is a collaboration between the Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation and the Association of Translators and Interpreters Ireland, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
