English PEN member and Foyles employee Jonathan Ruppin has set up a new book club to celebrate translated literature.   The English PEN Translated Literature Book Club will host monthly meetings at the Free Word Centre in London, and the first book under discussion will be The Silence and the Roar by exiled Syrian writer Nihad Sirees, translated from Arabic by Max Weiss (Pushkin Press). September’s book will be The Vegetarian by South Korean writer Han Kang, translated into English by Deborah Smith (Portobello Books), and October’s title will be from Iceland, with book club members choosing which book it will be.
