The winners of the 2015 Yasnaya Polyana Award were announced today in Moscow. Here, quickly, and from breakfast at the Atlanta airpirt--I'm on my way to Tucson for the American Literary Translator Association conference--are the winners. Apologies for the cut and paste work!
For the “XXI
Century”award:
Guzel’ Yakhina’s Зулейха открывает глаза (Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes). Also my favorite Big Book finalist. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and translating excerpts. A lovely historical novel in which a kulak woman is exiled and finds a new life.
For the “Childhood, Adolescence, Youth” prize:
Valerii Bylinski’s Риф (Reef). A
collection of stories and a novella.
Finally, Andrei Bitov won the prize I don't remember the name of. But will add later from Arizona!
