Deborah Smith and Eugene Lee; Chaired by Kelly Falconer
Emerging Korean-to-English translators Deborah Smith and Eugene Lee will test their linguistic mettle in a light-hearted duel of words. The slam will showcase the art of translation by juxtaposing competing translations of the same piece of contemporary writing by a Korean writer.

Venue: Literary Translation Centre, Earls Court
