Quiet Lightning + Center for the Art of Translation teamed up to produce a special show at The Lab on Wednesday, November 13 2013: the first set, curated by Katie Wheeler-Dubin, Lauren Traetto, and Evan Karp, is a "literary mixtape" in traditional QL style (no introductions or banter, all forms of writing, one author after another), but all pieces are, in some way, a response to Melissa Chandler's "Considering They Lived," which the curators selected from an initial round of submissions; set two, hosted by CJ Evans, features six different translations of the same passage from Guillermo Cabrera Infante's book Exorcismos de esti(l)o (Exorcisms of Style/Summer), presented in a similar way.
