Join translator Ilze Duarte at Books Inc. Pruneyard for a celebration of the Book of Affects by Brazilian writer Marilia Arnaud. Ilze will be in conversation with author Kathleen Wheaton. About the Book: Critically acclaimed in her native Brazil, Marília Arnaud now reaches a wider, international readership with this English edition of O Livro dos Afetos . In this short story collection, Arnaud uncovers the moving, complex, and often mystifying workings of the human heart as her characters grapple with desire, jealousy, betrayal, loss, and longing in nine stories ranging from the tender to the violent. The exploration of these varied themes and affects expands and intensifies through Arnaud’s use of alternating points of view: male and female, adult and child. Arnaud’s assured voice breathes life into these intriguing characters with masterful descriptions of their physical landscapes and inner lives, an energetic narrative pace, and polished, evocative, lyrical language. At once intimate and engaging, intense and warm, Arnaud’s writing echoes some of Clarice Lispector’s themes—love, loss, gender, the complexity of human relationships—and yet sets itself apart with its unique narrative style and diction. The Book of Affects offers an enticing sample of the talent and skill that make Marilia Arnaud one of the most accomplished Brazilian writers of our time. Ilze Duarte was born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil. She graduated from Universidade de São Paulo with a bachelor’s degree in English Language and Literature, followed by a graduate-level degree in English/Portuguese translation. She holds a master’s degree in Teaching English as a Second Language and a PhD in Speech Communication from Pennsylvania State University. Ilze lives in Milpitas, California, where she writes short prose and translates literary fiction by contemporary Brazilian authors into English. Her original work has been published in New Plains Review, Dear Damsels, Please See Me, FlashFood, and Thanatos Review. Her translations appear in Your Impossible Voice, Massachusetts Review, Columbia Journal Online, Ambit, Northwest Review, Asymptote Journal, and MAYDAY Magazine. Her essay on becoming a literary translator is featured in Hopscotch Translation.
