13 Loranne Vella

Fit-13 u l-aħħar episodju għal dan l-istaġun ta' Antenni Suspettużi niltaqgħu ma' Loranne Vella, l-awtriċi li mxiet b'versatilità impressjonanti minn ġeneru ta' kitba għal ieħor, u li issa tinsab finalista għall-Premju Nazzjonali tal-Ktieb bl-aħħar rumanz tagħha, "Marta Marta."

Vella tkellimna dwar il-ġurnal letterarju u l-podcast bl-istess isem ta' Aphroconfuso, li issa dieħel fit-tieni sena tiegħu u li qed jiġġenera kitba letterarja ġdida u friska, inkluża kwir.

Mid-distanza ta' awtriċi li telqet minn Malta 18-il sena ilu, Vella titkellem ukoll dwar l-importanza tal-lingwa għaliha, u kif il-proċess ta' dekolonizzazzjoni jeħtieġ jinvolvi t-traduzzjoni ta' xogħlijiet mill-oriġinal għall-Malti.

Antenni Suspettużi huwa l-podcast ta' PEN Malta mal-awturi ta' żmienna.

The guest of our 13th and final episode for this season of Antenni Suspettużi is Loranne Vella, an author who has moved from one literary genre to another with impressive versatility and who is now a finalist for the National Book Prize with her novel "Marta Marta".

Vella speaks about the literary journal and podcast Aphroconfuso, which is now entering its second year and is generating new, fresh writings, including queer literature.

Vella also speaks from a distance, having left Malta 18 years ago, about what language has come to signify for her and how the decolonisation process requires the translation of original works into Maltese.

Antenni Suspettużi is PEN Malta's weekly podcast with contemporary authors.
