Something I Have Done
I participated as a judge for Three Percent's BEST TRANSLATED BOOK OF 2008.
The 25 book long list is available here and now.
The 10 finalists will be announced on January 27th and the winning titles will be announced on February 19th at a party at Melville House in Brooklyn. With any luck, I'll be in attendance.
There's no luck.
But a woman named "Irina" commented on the original post (see the above link) and summed the whole endeavor up very well.
"This is not an academic prize, but a literary one that celebrates the diversity of interesting literature [sic]. It is all about the book that made it in the world as a piece of literary fiction."
