They've announced the winners of this year's Society of Authors' Translation Prizes -- five of them, this year (it varies), for translations from the Arabic, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
Two of the prize-winning titles are under review at the complete review: the Saif Ghobash Banipal Prize for translation from the Arabic-winning The Corpse Washer, for Sinan Antoon's own translation of his work, and the Schlegel-Tieck Prize for translation from the German-winning The Mussel Feast, for Jamie Bulloch's traslation of the Birgit Vanderbeke novel.
Meanwhile, neither the John Florio Prize (Italian) winner -- Patrick Creagh's translation of Memory of the Abyss by Marcello Fois -- nor the Premio Valle Inclán (Spanish) winner -- Nick Caistor's translation of An Englishman in Madrid by Eduardo Mendoza -- seems to be out in the US yet.
