Executive editor Lizzie Davis and publisher Adam Levy discuss Slow Elephants of Milan—twelve enigmatic fictions by a lost master of Argentinian literature.

Join us for the third edition of our Transit Book Club Salon, an intimate event series featuring behind-the-scenes discussions on Transit titles. Executive editor Lizzie Davis and publisher Adam Levy will discuss Ángel Bonomini’s Slow Elephants of Milan (tr. Jordan Landsman) and its making: how Bonomini's work came to Transit's attention, as well as questions of editing and translating.

Tickets are free for subscribers and $10 for non-Book Club members. If you are not a current member of the Book Club but would like to join, we will put your ticket price toward the subscription. Just forward your ticket receipt to publicity@transitbooks.org and we'll send over a discount code!
