The American Literary Translators Association has announced the shortlists for the 2015 National Translation Awards in Poetry and Prose.
Two of the shortlisted prose translations are under review at the complete review -- Running Through Beijing and Why I Killed My Best Friend -- and I've read two of the others (Erpenbck, Jansson). (And I've also read the Tolstoy -- but not in the nominated translation.)
