Certain situations, experiences, emotions or dimensions of identity belong to the individual and are not transmitted. However, they can be communicated through literature, which is often a source of empathy. How can the voice of the other be heard in translation? What signs does the translated author recognise? Black, queer, indigenous: who can say them best? Queer: Katia Grubisic, winner of the Governor General's Award for her translation of Une réunion près de la mer, by Marie-Claire Blais (Nights Too Short to Dance). Black: David Chariandy, recent French translations at Heliotrope of My Brother (Mon Frère) and (I've Been Meaning to Tell You: A Letter to my Daughter (Il est temps que je te dise. Lettre à ma fille sur le racisme). Indigenous: Mapuche poet Liliana Ancalao (Patagonia), whose poems in Mapuzungun have been translated into English and Spanish. Three voices, three experiences in the mirror of translation.

In collaboration with the Canada Council for the Arts to celebrate the finalists and winners of the Governor General's Literary Awards.
