Richard Hugo House, Seattle's ever-inventive center for writers, is launching a new literary series.

It kicks off with a "Lost in Translation" theme this Friday and Saturday, when Hugo House features these authors and artists in a weekend of appearances, classes and readings: monologist and author Mike Daisey ("21 Dog Years: Doing Time @ Amazon.com"); journalist and author Lesley Hazleton ("Mary: A Flesh-and-Blood Biography," "Jezebel: The Untold Story of the Bible's Harlot Queen"); novelist and short-story writer Randall Kenan ("A Visitation of Spirits," "Let the Dead Bury Their Dead"); and singer/songwriter Devin Sullivan. Each artist will debut new work inspired by the "translation" theme and commissioned for the event.

Other events in the literary series:

"We Could be Heroes," Nov. 16-17, featuring Jack Hitt, Ellen Forney and Brian Turney; music by Canary Sing.
