The American Literary Translators Association, which is finally really trying to get its shit together in terms of its public and web presence, just announced the 15-title longlist<\/a> for this year’s National Translation Award. <\/p>\n

If you haven’t heard of the NTA<\/span>, here’s all the necessary info: this is the sixteenth year the award is being given out; in contrast to the BTBA<\/span>, it’s the “only national award for translated fiction, poetry, and literary nonfiction that includes a rigorous examination of the source text and its relation to the finished English work”; the finalist judges are Barbara Epler (Publisher, New Directions), Elaine Katzenberger (Publisher, City Lights), and Jessica Cohen (renowned translator from the Hebrew); the winning translator will receive $5,000; and the finalists will be announced in October, with the winner being announced at the ALTA<\/span> conference in Milwaukee from November 12-15. <\/p>\n
