Join us online for a conversation with Tina Kover, who translated The Postcard, named Best Book of the Year by TIME Magazine, NPR, Library Journal, and The New Yorker. The event is co-sponsored by Seaside Jewish Community. Winner of the Choix Goncourt Prize, Anne Berest's The Postcard is a vivid portrait of twentieth-century Parisian intellectual and artistic life, an enthralling investigation into family secrets, and poignant tale of a Jewish family devastated by the Holocaust and partly restored through the power of storytelling.

Tina Kover is a literary translator. She studied French at the University of Denver and the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, and attended the Next Level Language Institute in Prague, Czech Republic. She holds a Master's Degree in Medieval and Renaissance Studies from Durham University. Her translation of Négar Djavadi's award-winning novel Disoriental was a finalist for the inaugural National Book Award for Translated Literature in 2018, the PEN Translation Prize in 2019, the Scott Moncrieff Prize, the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation, and the International Dublin Literary Award. Older Brother was a finalist for the Oxford-Weidenfeld Translation Prize in 2020. Her translation of In the Shadow of the Fire was selected for a French Voices Award in 2020.
