And on the theme of prizes!

[Robert Chandler]

Thank you, Sasha, for telling us about Ulitskaya!

And we should also be congratulating my brilliant friend and colleague Joanne Turnbull, and her husband Nikolay Formozov, whose translation of Krzhizhanovsky has just been awarded one more important prize!

All the best,

Robert
