Writing with Ene

In this lecture, Subhro Bandopadhyay, translator of numerous contemporary Spanish authors into Bengali, as well as of the only anthology of contemporary Bengali poetry in Spanish to date, will reflect on the challenges, joys and wonders of writing his first book in Spanish, Chitabagh shahor - La ciudad leopard, the fruit of the 1st Antonio Machado International Scholarship for poetic creation (2008) after his one-year stay in Soria. He will also reflect on how “writing with the ñ” changed his way of approaching the world and to what extent this fact transformed his way of writing in his own mother tongue.
