The Premio Gregor von Rezzori, a leading Italian prize for the best translated work of fiction -- won last year by the just-announced winner of this year's International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award ... -- has been announced;
not at the official site, last I checked (because ... of course ...) but the papers have it as Naissance d'un pont by Maylis de Kerangal beating out Tom McCarthy's C, Georgi Gospodinov's forthcoming-from-Open-Letter Physics of Sorrow, and something by Dave Eggers, among others.
Naissance d'un pont -- which also picked up two big French prizes, the prix Médicis and the prix Franz Hessel -- is actually due out in English this fall from Talonbooks, as Birth of a Bridge; see also the Verticales publicity page, or pre-order your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.
