Our Gala & Globe Trot Are Tonight!
The 2016 WWB Gala is tonight, Tuesday, November 1. A terrific group of authors and translators will join us at Three Sixty° Tribeca in New York City as we celebrate the power of international literature and honor Barbara Epler with the 2016 Ottaway Award for the Promotion of International Literature, presented to her by Hilton Als. Journalist and activist Roxana Saberi will host, and legendary translator Edith Grossman is our honorary chair.
This year’s gala will be followed by the third annual Globe Trot after-party, presented by the WWB Young Publishers Committee, open to gala guests and newcomers alike.
