Boston Book Festival 2018

Literary translations are often taken for granted by readers. For translators, they are works of art in their own right. Going beyond linguistics, Irena Stanic Rasin uses her first-hand experience as a translator to explore the not-frequently-thought-of obstacles translators face. Using Gianna Manzini’s book Sulla Soglia (Threshold), easy-to-comprehend examples in Italian, and the backdrop of Eataly Boston, Stanic Rasin will engage readers to gain new perspective on literary translations.

“What do I do with kohlrabi?” “How about beet greens, are they edible?” In her late twenties, Alana Chernila paid for a CSA share by working at the local farmers’ market, and she fielded questions like these weekly. When a friend suggested she start a blog, “Eating from the Ground Up” was born. Two cookbooks later (The Homemade Pantry, The Homemade Kitchen), Chernila is back with a third cookbook, Eating from the Ground Up, empowering eaters everywhere to make simple, perfect vegetables. Against the backdrop of Eataly Boston, Alana Chernila will chat about how to start a blog (and turn it into a cookbook), her food writing (Food52, Martha Stewart Living), and what you should make for dinner.
