Bookplanet: great panel on translated books

Here's an event I will definitely attend, because some very serious publishers will speak. It's called Lost in Translation.
"Why are fewer translated works published, and what can be done to reverse the trend? In honor of May's designation as World in Translation Month, Housing Works presents two of the country's leading publishers of translated books in discussion with booksellers and literary critics about the difficult business of publishing, marketing, and selling works in translation. Leading the discussion will be Dennis Loy Johnson, editor of MobyLives.com (the original litblog) and publisher of Melville House Books. His guests will include Chad Post and John O'Brien of the Dalkey Archive Press, perhaps America's leading publisher of translated books, Michael Orthofer of The Complete Review.com, and Margarrita Shalina, buyer for St. Mark's Bookstore in New York City.
Housing Works, Monday, May 23, 7p.m. 126 Crosby Street, Soho, NYC 10012, 212-334-3324. Subway: W, R to Prince Street, B, D, F, V to Broadway-Lafayette, 6 to Bleecker Street.
