This is the second of a series of newsletters as I revisit my notes from a pandemic project of reading historical novels from around the world with Book #6. #SlowReadingLast month, I began reviewing some pandemic journal notes and started a newsletter series to share a reading project from that time. The goal at the time was to read one historical novel from each country.

An initial exploration of the complexities of multiple translations and how to approach them as readers and translators. Hello, everyone. Given that the spring semester is fully underway, it has been over a month since I shared a new newsletter edition. With the much-needed spring break this week, I am catching up with some of my writing and translating projects, including newsletters.

This is the first of a series of newsletters as I revisit my notes from a pandemic project of reading historical novels from around the world. #SlowReadingDuring the pandemic, I began a reading project that I hoped would combine my major interests: historical fiction, translated fiction, and travel. The plan was to read a historical novel from each major country in the world and, if I had not already visited it, make a trip there.

An exploration of how Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) might help a literary translator navigate the various challenges of understanding, interpreting, and conveying meaning across languages and cultures. Last semester, one of my course assignments was to draft a one-page teaching philosophy statement. If I aim to teach at the university level after finishing my Ph.D., this is one of the documents I will need in my application portfolio.

A new year allows for some new beginnings. Let’s reboot this HFCN newsletter and see where 2024 takes us. Also, I share some thoughts on time in historical fiction, including what Joan Silber and Carlo Rovelli have to say about it. A very happy New Year to all of you. I hope that 2024 will bring you all that you wish for . . . and then some. My apologies for the two multi-month breaks in 2023. Things got rather busy work-wise and study-wise, and I needed to redistribute my energies.
