A little late but I tell all about my adventure to london for the Independent foreign fiction prize at the RIBA ,over at Booktrust’s translated fiction blog .
I m on the translated fiction blog from booktrust
Home of Translated fiction and #translationthurs
Congrats
I left a comment on booktrust, but I’ll leave one here as well to say I’m so happy (envious!) that you were able to attend the event and speak with so many special guests. What a wonderfully exciting time that must have been, even if the book you may have been hoping for didn’t ‘come out of the envelope’. Thanks for showing us this site, but more importantly, I’m glad you shared your story.
Thanks Bellezza ,and many thanks for kind comment on booktrust as well ,any of the shortlisted books would have been deserving they were all good books and manage to shake his hand and grab a brief word seemed a nice chap ,all the best stu
Congratulations, Stu! You know that your posts add many books in translation to my TBR list, including Kamchatka and Red April. I truly appreciate all the hard work you put into you blog.
many thanks Gavin ,I just try and spread my love for world lit ,all the best stu
Heading there…
Thanks Nana
Guess what, Stu? I happened to see Red April on Borders (a bookstore near us) on a huge sale for $5.99. I think I’ll have to go back and buy it now that you’ve told us about it!
oh thats great belezza and sounds very cheap ,all the best stu
It’s a great post, Stu. Sounds as though you had a really good time, and for those of us who live on the other side of the world and can’t attend such events, it makes it all more real. Thanks for sharing, and well done to get picked up by Book Trust.
