Congratulations to two of our translators for winning incredible prizes this past month!
Sophie Yanow was awarded the prestigious Scott Moncrieff Prize for her translation of Dominique Goblet's graphic novel, Pretending is Lying. This is the first time that a translation of a graphic novel has been awarded the Scott Moncrieff Prize.
Richard Sieburth was awarded the 2019 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation for his translation of Henri Michaux’s A Certain Plume. "Tone and time are the chief catalysts of the prose poem," wrote the panel of judges, "and Richard Sieburth has shown Henri Michaux to be a master of both."
