On Judging Team for ALTA's 2022 National Award in Prose

Pleased to announce that, along with esteemed colleagues Suzanne Jill Levine and Arunava Sinha, I am on the team of judges for the American Literary Translator’s Association 2022 Award in Prose. The National Translation Award is “awarded annually in poetry and in prose to literary translators who have made an outstanding contribution to literature in English by masterfully recreating the artistic force of a book of consummate quality.” I love ALTA (and was the lucky and grateful recipient of a Travel Grant to attend the 2014 Conference when I was an emerging translator), so I was honored and pleased to join the effort. My pleasure has been exponentially multiplied by all the fabulous books I get to read, so many of which were already on my wish list. It will be difficult to choose even a longlist from this diverse and impressive group of submissions!
