We teamed up with Quiet Lightning for an hour-long smörgåsbord of creative writing and translation. In the first 30 minutes, there was the usual mix of exciting new writing by up-and-coming Bay Area artists brought together by the Quiet Lightning community. Then, in the show’s second half, we heard competing translations of pun-ridden, experimental texts from Guillermo Cabrera Infante’s famously difficult-to-translate book Exorcismos de esti(l)o (Exorcisms of Style/Summer).
