This year’s International Translation Day was held at the Free Word Centre on 30 September. The symposium gave Literary professionals a chance to gather and celebrate successful new initiatives; Sarah Ardizzone updated us on ‘Translation Nation’, a scheme that takes translators into schools across London to inspire the next generation of translators. Ros Schwartz described a successful new approach to mentoring new translators and Rachel Van Riel excited the audience with a range of schemes introduced by ‘Opening the Book’, designed to connect readers with literature from around the world. At English PEN we outlined the new translation fund we will be launching with support from Arts Council England next April and in a series of afternoon workshops, ITD delegates had their say! We closed the day with a remarkable presentation by conductor and broadcaster Charles Hazlewood. Ahdaf Soueif then joined us in the evening and gave a fascinating talk on her role as a writer, journalist & translator during the Arab spring, referring to her forthcoming book Cairo: My City, Our Revolution.

Two of the male readers. I think every guy who ever read at Cringe in the past was called to read at this "best of" night.
We backtracked into Washington after Astoria and diverted to see Mount St. Helens, the broken mountain volcano that exploded out the side in 1980. I was only 8 years old when the mountain erupted, but I remember when it happened. It was on all the news channels, and we read about it at school in the Weekly Reader, but my childhood home in Kentucky was too far away for us to have any direct impact. I later knew a guy who'd lived in Bozeman, Montana, and he said they got a bunch of ash.
Here are the basic Mount St. Helens facts. Mount St. Helens is a stratovolcano similar to nearby mountains like Mount Hood or Mount Ranier. Before 1980, it was a near-perfect cone rising 9,677 feet above sea level. But then, after a couple of months of build-up that lead to a sort of media circus, the mountain exploded on May 18, 1980, and 1,314 feet of that elevation blew sideways and spread out into this valley. Fifty-seven people were killed in the blast, most of whom had ignored an established red zone around the mountain so they could try to get a better look. Hundreds of square miles of trees were levelled, and the mountains ice fields poured down the rivers in mud flows that wrecked bridges and drowned towns. If I'd been standing in this spot when the mountain went, I'd have been killed.
Much of the landscaped seen here was only 26 years old when I took this pictures. It's only 46 years old now.
You can see, the mountain has a hazy look to it in this shot. Mount St. Helens went through a mild eruptive phase between 2004 and 2008, and steam was venting from the crater while we were there. If we'd been here three months later on October 22, we could have seen a rock fin in the crater collapse and send a cloud of ash 2,000 feet into the air.

From the author of Last Words, USA Today Bestselling Author Shari J. Ryan brings readers a new, unforgettable novel. Last One Home was inspired by true events of the attack on Pearl Harbor and World War II.
AIR RAID ON PEARL HARBOR
THIS IS NOT A DRILL
Piercing sirens led to cries for help. The pungent scents of burning oil would be seared into our memories forever, and the meaning behind loss was incomprehensible on that infamous day in history.
Twenty-year-old Elizabeth Salzberg, a nursing student and strong-willed Jewish woman, lived under the strict guidance of her father, a naval commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet in Oahu, Hawaii. For the five years following her mother's untimely death, Elizabeth had struggled to abide by society's expectations of a woman's duties. While spending her days preparing meals and keeping a clean house for her father and brothers, Elizabeth desired a more profound sense of worth and purpose in life.
Elizabeth's dream of escaping the rigorous daily grind was drifting out to sea just before her unexpected encounter with the new handsome lieutenant on base. Everett Anderson, a former Hollywood actor who put his career on hold to serve in the Army is the talk of the town as women gossip over his arrival. Despite the attention, Everett fell for Elizabeth at first sight, but unbeknownst to him, she was the commander's daughter and off-limits to all servicemen on base.
On the morning of December 7th, 1941, a forbidden romance was the least of Elizabeth and Everett's worries when they found themselves fearing for their lives as they dropped to the ground beneath the air attack that would wipe out the U.S. Fleet within hours.
Elizabeth saw this pivotal moment as a turning point in her life. An opportunity to join the Army Nurse Corps was the purpose she had been seeking. She knew the country needed her services. This path was in resistance to her father's wishes and would likely disrupt any future plans between her and Everett, but despite the internal battle to make a life-altering decision, Elizabeth felt an overwhelming need to prove her strength as a coming of age woman at a time when equality was more important than ever.
Could Elizabeth and Everett survive the bloodshed and tears of war, or would one have to come home without the other?

I first saw this young man with his head buried in the newspaper he is folding in this picture. Then, as in this shot, he was squatting next to the packages before him, doubtless in obedience to his mother's edict to "Stay here while I go get grapes!" Nobody seemed to mind the boy's presence in the middle of the main thoroughfare of the open-air market.
It's official. I need readers. I like rhinestones, plastic frames, and hinges so that when I fall asleep reading, they don't get all busted.
