Alumnus Receives Top Award for Translation
Alex Zucker (MIA ’90) received the 2010 National Translation Award from the American Literary Translators Association. Zucker was recognized for his translation from Czech of the novel All This Belongs to Me by Petra Hůlová.
The award is presented annually to the translator whose work, by virtue of its quality and significance, has made the most valuable contribution to literary translation. There were 109 books nominated for the award and 15 finalists.
“It is truly an honor to receive this award,” says Zucker. “ [The book] was a challenge to translate mainly because of its five different narrators — five women, each with her own voice and own style of storytelling.” More
