DESCRIPTION:Cambridge Polish Studies welcomes eminent Polish novelist Doro
 ta Masłowska to Sidney Sussex College for an evening of readings from her
  work (in English and Polish) and discussion. The discussion will be led b
 y Dr Stanley Bill\, Lecturer in Polish Studies at the University of Cambri
 dge\, together with noted translator of Polish literature Antonia Lloyd-Jo
 nes.\n\n​Dorota Masłowska burst onto Poland's literary scene at the age
  of nineteen with her debut novel _Wojna polsko-ruska pod flagą biało-cz
 erwoną_ (2002 - later translated into English as _Snow White and Russian 
 Red_). The book's publication was among the most explosive events of post-
 1989 Polish literary history\, as critics hailed an extraordinary new tale
 nt turning the colloquial language of everyday Polish provincial life into
  compelling literature.\n\nMasłowska has since published two novels\, two
  plays and many essays. Her most recent novel _Kochanie\, zabiłam nasze k
 oty_ (2012 - _Honey\, I Killed Our Cats_) continues her experimentation wi
 th literary Polish\, but is set in the imaginatively constructed setting o
 f a large American city. Masłowska has also released a music album under 
 the pseudonym 'Mister D'.\n\nAs part of the event\, we will present the Ta
 lkman Prize for Literary Translation\, awarded to the best translation int
 o English of a work of Polish literature by a student of Polish Studies at
  Cambridge.  \n
