Introduced by the joint winners of

The Roundtable will cover all aspects of Arabic
Literary Translation and will be a stimulating and interesting
opportunity for translators at different levels in their career and
training, as well as students of literary translation to meet, discuss
with and learn from two of the leading translators of contemporary
Arabic fiction.

Hutchins for his translation of A Land Without Jasmine by Wajdi al-Ahdal (Garnet Publishing).
