Calling all Italian-to-English translators! It's time for submissions to ALTA's Italian Prose in Translation Award! And yes, translators may submit their own works!

So many reactions! I want to get the person some translated works. And I kind of hope somewhere out there, there’s a translator who has never heard of the job “receptionist.”

Innovative readings, interesting places, intriguing photos, intricate history, Maaza Mengiste, Orhan Pamuk, Daša Drndić, Olga Tokarczuk, Valeria Luiselli, Claudio Magris & more. Congratulations, Emma Bond, on “Curating Worlds: Museum Practices in Contemporary Literature,” a beautiful book! #worldlit
