In this New York Public Library event, Man Booker International Prize–winning translator Jennifer Croft discusses her debut novel, The Extinction of Irena Rey (Bloomsbury, 2024), in a conversation with Daniel Saldaña París. “I feel, as a translator, that I’m always on this mission of seeking an essence, a mysterious thing that can’t really be articulated...something I can capture and reconstitute in my language,” says Croft. Her novel is featured in Page One in the March/April issue of Poets & Writers Magazine.
