News from Stan West...

This morning, (Sunday, Oct. 2, 6:30 a.m. to 7 a.m. Chicago time), I featured Prof. Peter Thompson, who taught UNO's translation course this summer, on my WNUA 95.5 FM Chicago radio show "City Voices," a weekly show streaming live that inquires into literature and cinema from the Third World. Today's show focused on the literary, cultural movement of "Negritude," and a the work by Veronique Tadjo, a poet from the Ivory Coast now living in Paris, whose book Thompson translated.

(I believe her new book with Prof. Thompson's translation will hit bookstores this month).
