Repost * @rightsandbrands ✨Award highlight! ✨

Rafsa Wildfur’s winning flow continues in Italy, with the recent announcement of the winners of the 45th edition of the Anderson Award. The Italian edition, Lotte Pelomatto, translated by Laura Cangemi, has been awarded the Flora Bonetti Prize for Best Translation.

Jury’s praise:

”For her impeccable work on a book that is ’’falsely simple’’ yet demands extreme attention. For her spot-on lexical choices, which appear natural yet are never predictable. For the delightful language and skilful use of diminutives and terms of endearment that never veer into the affected. For a translation that is meticulously crafted and polished with a sure hand, without a single moment of fatigue.”

Congratulazioni @lenafrolanderulf translator Laura Cangemi and @iminiborei 🎉 ...
