S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Panel As mil e uma noites de espera<\/em> (The one-thousand-and-one-night wait), featuring Lebanese descendant authors Milton Hatoum and Mamede Jarouche and journalist Jorge Oliveira as moderator, will take place at 7 pm this Friday (28) at Teatro Guarany, in the city of Santos, as part of the 10th<\/sup> Tarrafa Liter\u00e1ria, a literary event held by bookstore owner and editor Jos\u00e9 Luiz Tahan. Pictured above is a panel of the festival\u2019s 9th<\/sup> edition.<\/p>\n

Milton Hatoum is a fiction writer and Mamede Jarouche is an Arabic-Portuguese translator and a researcher into Arab culture. According to Tahan, the name of the panel is a conflation of the pair\u2019s best-known works: One Thousand and One Nights<\/em>, a classic of Arabic literature which Jarouche translated directly into Portuguese \u2013 bypassing the French version and thereby retrieving much of the original culture \u2013 and A Noite da Espera<\/em>, a novel by Hatoum that\u2019s partly set in Santos.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis meeting is intended to connect the works and their authors, one as a fictionist and the other as a translator-cum-scholar, building parallels between subject matters and pondering their contents and writing processes,\u201d said Tahan, himself a second-generation Lebanese descendant who believes that Santos, like few other cities in Brazil, is naturally accommodating of hybrid cultures, since it was built by immigrants who arrived in ships.<\/p>\n

The Tarrafa will also cover feminism, sports, poetry and prose, and for the first time it will honor a writer \u2013 Ranulpho Prata, the author of Navios Iluminados<\/em>. According to Tahan, \u201cthis is a way of bringing up names that are not part of the collective imagination, but who have done a lot for the city and for literature.\u201d Prata was a Sergipe-born physician who lived in the Santos area during the 1930s. Excerpts from his works will be read throughout the festival. Tahan said that from now on, a different author will be honored each edition.<\/p>\n

Tarrafa will also feature the panel O lugar de fala, o lugar da escrita<\/em>, featuring Santos-born writer Djamila Ribeiro, the author of O que \u00e9 o lugar de fala?<\/em> \u2013 the second-best-selling book at the Paraty International Literary Festival (Flip) this year \u2013, journalist and writer Eliane Brum, and professor Simone Rodrigues Batista as moderator. \u201cWe will invariably delve into the current scenario in Brazil. This atypical period we are living in should permeate all panels at some point,\u201d Tahan pondered.<\/p>\n

The event relies on backing from the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, the Embassy of Sweden and the Embassy of Portugal (writers from both countries will be present). For Tahan, this support is important in order to keep the event free of charge and open to the public. \u201cThese supporters help enable the festival and tailor its contents. It\u2019s a very rewarding give-and-take, and we intend to keep working this way. Santos is naturally welcoming of different cultures,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The organizer also said all panels are accessible to beginner and advanced readers alike, and that informal language is used in a bid to encourage people to read for pleasure\u2019s sake. The event will run until the 30th<\/sup> in Santos, before continuing in S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s Livraria da Vila on the 1st<\/sup>. The full program is available from the festival\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
