Literary Translator Lecture: Tiffany Tsao, "Beyond Novelty and Exoticism: Taking the Long View in Translating Indonesian Literature "
Tiffany Tsao will discuss the challenges of translating Indonesian literature in the context of a publishing industry that has tended to value Indonesian works more for their “Indonesianness” than their literary value. Catering to a readership interested specifically in the history, culture, and living conditions of Indonesia has some near-term benefits, but does this approach do Indonesian writing a disservice over the long term? She will discuss, more specifically, how this state of affairs has shaped the decisions she has made as a translator – from the works she has chosen to translate, to her approach to the translation process itself.
Tiffany Tsao’s translations of Indonesian literature have received the PEN Translation Prize, the Republic of Consciousness Prize, and a longlisting for the International Booker Prize. She is also the author of The Majesties (2018) and But Won’t I Miss Me (2026), and Deputy Editor at the Sydney Review of Books.

Literary Translator Colloquium: Tiffany Tsao, "The Art of Reviewing Translations"
RSVP Required: https://simpsoncenter.org/form/tsao-colloquium
The past several years have seen an increase in the literary world’s appetite and appreciation for translated works. But what progress has been made when it comes to reviewing translations as translations? Speaking from both her current position as Deputy Editor at the Sydney Review of Books and as a literary translator who follows with great interest how translations are reviewed, Tiffany Tsao will discuss various patterns (and pitfalls) that reviewers of translated works tend to fall into, and share some ideas for how a reviewer might better engage with a translator’s labor and the “translatedness” of a text. Tiffany Tsao’s translations of Indonesian literature have received the PEN Translation Prize, the Republic of Consciousness Prize, and a longlisting for the International Booker Prize. She is also the author of The Majesties (2018) and But Won’t I Miss Me (2026), and Deputy Editor at the Sydney Review of Books.

Fire Humanities | Panel Discussion and Storytelling
Registration required.
What does it mean to live well as wildfire and smoke season becomes more a part of life in the Pacific Northwest and many other places around the world?
As much as we focus on preparedness and reducing materials that fuel wildfires, we must also reckon with the human dimensions of fire, which shape how we interact with it. “Fire Humanities” is a book project and an emerging field of study that draws on the humanities and arts to center stories, representations, collaborations, and values that promote adaptation, resilience, and justice as we adapt to a world with more fire.
This program will feature a panel discussion with five contributors to the book, who will share their approaches to this emerging field of research. After the panel, you’ll be invited to share your stories of fire and smoke with each other, speak with the panelists, and participate in hands-on activities connected to the Fire Humanities project.
