The Oxford-Weidenfeld Translation Prize 2009 shortlist has been announced!
The judges said:
This year, recent prose writing was exceptionally strong. All the books on the shortlist were published in their original languages in the last forty years; almost all are here translated into English for the first time. The shortlist also demonstrates the importance of small presses, alongside larger publishers with a longstanding commitment to translation, in bringing significant European writing into English.
The shortlist is as follows (with the name of the translator presented first):
- Anthea Bell for Sasa Stanisic's How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone
- David Colmer for Gerbrand Bakker's The Twin
- Sarah Death for Alexander Ahndoril's The Director
- Christine Donougher for Sylvie Germain's Magnus
- Michael Hofmann for Fred Wander's The Seventh Well
- Marek Tomin for Emil Hakl's Of Kids and Parents
