Alice E. Olsson shortlisted for the SoA Bernard Shaw Prize
Judge Amanda Svensson had this to say about the shortlist:
‘From the lyrical to the matter–of–fact, these translators have captured the essence of each of their authors tone, ambition, quirks and strengths with accuracy and verve. This shortlist is a testament not only to the power of great literature, but also the power of great translation.’
Congratulations to Alice and all the shortlisted translations!
The winner will be announced at a ceremony on Wednesday 7 February 2024. For more information please visit the Society of Authors website here.
