Approximately five minutes, the winners of this year’s Best Translated Book Awards were announced at a special celebration at Idlewild Books in New York City. Hopefully the party is raging, and the winners are enjoying themselves . . . <\/p>\n

Competition was pretty steep for this year’s awards. The poetry committee came to a consensus rather quickly, granting the award to Elena Fanailova for The Russian Version<\/em>, translated from the Russian by Genya Turovskaya and Stephanie Sandler and published by Ugly Duckling Presse.<\/p>\n

On the fiction side of things we debated and debated for weeks. There were easily four other titles that could’ve easily won this thing. Walser, Prieto, Aira were all very strong contenders. But in the end, we gave the award to Gail Hareven for The Confessions of Noa Weber<\/em>, translated from the Hebrew by Dalya Bilu and published by Melville House Press.<\/p>\n
