Nominated for Prize!
Mortal Designs has been nominated for the Saif Ghobash Banipal Prize for Arabic Literary Translation! More details here. See review of the book here.
“…couldn’t put the book down. I felt richly immersed in a culture and atmosphere I barely know. The characters are so alive! I love how you left some words untranslated and unexplained, preserving the foreignness of the text and leaving it to [the] reader to imagine the meaning.”
(from personal communication with an Italian to English translator who found my book through the New England Translators Association annual conference in April 2019)
