They've announced the 2013 Guggenheim fellowships -- 175 selected from nearly 3000 applicants; see the full list of fellows (alphabetically, and with brief project-summary) or the list of fellows by field.
Nice to see several translation projects being rewarded, including Philip Boehm for "new prose texts by Herta Müller" and Bill Johnston for a "new translation of Adam Mickiewicz's Pan Tadeusz".
This year's fiction fellows are: Kiran Desai, Adam Johnson, Rachel Kushner, Ben Marcus, David Means, Terese Svoboda, and Colson Whitehead
Lots of other writers also got Guggenheims, including Carlin Romano (working on: "Is there an Asian philosophy ?") and Leah Price ("Book fetish: how rethinking the printed past can transform our digital future").
