Anthea Bell (OBE), highly acclaimed English translator, will be awarded an Honorary Degree from the University of Nottingham. Bell has made authors as influential and wide-ranging as Franz Kafka, Sigmund Freud, E.T.A. Hoffmann, W.G. Sebald, George Simenon and Françoise Sagan accessible to English-language readers. She has made an important contribution to opening European literature, in particular old and new German and French children's classics, to a readership in the US and beyond. Most recently, readers and critics have praised her translation of the latest Asterix (Asterix and the Picts).
Watch this space: As part of the Encounters series Anthea Bell and German-Bosnian writer Saša Stanišić will read and discuss texts and translations in 2016 at The University of Nottingham.
