Congrats to translator Edith Grossman, who will be honored on Feb 2 with the $10,000 Queen Sofia Spanish Institute Translation Prize for her work on Antonio Munoz Molina’s novel A Manuscript of Ashes. Those in New York can attend a conversation between Munoz Molina and Grossman at the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute.

An excerpt from Manuscript appeared in the Center’s 2008 anthology Strange Harbors, which is available for purchase here. Grossman was also a guest of the Center at Lit&Lunch, where she read from her translation of Manuscript and discussed Munoz Molina and issues of translation. Audio from that event can be heard at this link.
