> Dear all,
> 
> Just to say 2 things:
> 
> 1) Last night, here in London, Joanne Turnbull was awarded the Rossica
> Translation Prize (it is quite a new prize, this is only the 
> second year it
> has been running) for her translation of Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky, 
> SevenStories, published by GLAS.  Krzh. is a great writer, and 
> Joanne¹stranslation is outstanding.  If you want to know more, 
> please read my review
> in SEEJ, Winter 2006!
> 
> 2) I received a ?Special Commendation¹ both for my translation of 
> HamidIsmailov¹s The Railway, published by Harvill Secker, and for 
> my translations
> over the years.  The Railway is an exuberant and witty novel set 
> in Central
> Asia.  There is a bit about it on amazon.com, though I have just 
> seen that
> it is at present available only second hand.  A new VINTAGE 
> edition should
> be available in the UK in early July and in the USA by the end of 
> July.
> Best Wishes,
> 
> Robert
