Translating War: Language, Memory, and the Legacy of All Quiet on the Western Front

Kurt Beals and George Packer

Join us for an evening of conversation as translator Kurt Beals and journalist George Packer discuss the continuing resonance of Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front. Framed by a new English translation, the dialogue will explore how language shapes our memory of war, and why this literary classic still speaks powerfully to the present.

The event will take place in the Klimt Gallery on the second floor of Neue Galerie New York. All Quiet on the Western Front will be available for purchase. You can bring your own book or buy a copy and have it signed.
