It's nice to see authors finally catch on abroad -- especially authors who haven't just been 'lost in translation' but rather write in English, but for whatever reason are overlooked in the US/UK markets.
South African author Ivan Vladislavić has finally been getting some US/UK attention, with the publication there of works such as Double Negative and now, with the announcement (via) that his 1993 debut (!) The Folly has finally been sold in the US and UK, to first-rate publishers Archipelago Books and And Other Stories -- well, what more validation could one ask for ?
