Book Discussion | Alphabetical Disorder: The Last Window-Giraffe at 25 (in-person and online)

Friday, September 29, 2023, 12:00 pm

Free

Celebrate International Translation Day and the US publication of The Last Window-Giraffe, Hungarian author Péter Zilahy’s groundbreaking fictional memoir of the 1996 protests in Belgrade. Translated by the late Tim Wilkinson and published by Sandorf Passage with a foreword by Marina Abramović, the new edition marks the 25th anniversary of the book’s original release, and the 25th country in which it has appeared. With ongoing wars and autocrats vying for power around the world, this meditation on life under a dictatorship, modeled after a Hungarian primary school textbook, continues to speak to us both as a history lesson and a warning about what the future can hold. 

Author Péter Zilahy will be joined by two of his book’s translators, married couple Mari Alföldy and Viacheslav Sereda, for conversation and readings from the Hungarian, Dutch, Russian, and English versions of the book.
