The (American) National Endowment for the Arts has announced its Fiscal Year 2016 NEA Literature Translation Fellowship Recipients (warning ! dreaded pdf format !) and there are a lot of neat projects here, including:
- Philip Boehm for his translation of Ilija Trojanow's EisTau (see e.g. the New Books in German information page) -- working title apparently: The Lamentations of Zeno
- Michael Leong for his translation of Vicente Huidobro's Sky-Quake
- Michael F. Moore for a new translation of Alessandro Manzoni's The Betrothed
- Kit Schluter tackling some Marcel Schwob
- Donna Stonecipher translating some Friederike Mayröcker
