Best Translated Book Award Short List
"This was a really deep list—due in part to the added judges, the fact that we were more focused on reading books for the award all year, and the high quality of stuff that came out in 2009—and any of the twenty-five books on the longlist could easily have been included as a finalist. That said, these ten books separated themselves from the rest of the pack for their overall quality, including the greatness of the original book and its translation." [Chad Post, Award Chair]
This year's fiction panelists were Monica Carter (Skylight Books and Salonica World Lit), Scott Esposito (Conversational Reading and Center for the Art of Translation), Susan Harris (Words Without Borders), Annie Janusch (Translator), Brandon Kennedy (Spoonbill & Sugartown), Bill Marx (PRI’s The World: World Books), Michael Orthofer (Complete Review), Chad W. Post (Open Letter and Three Percent), and Jeff Waxman (The Seminary Co-op Bookstores and The Front Table).
