The people at Very Short List<\/a> were kind enough to ask me to put together a special list featuring items related to World in Translation Month. <\/p>\n

For anyone who doesn’t know, VSL<\/span> started a few years ago with a very simple idea: every day subscribers would receive an email highlighting one cool and interesting thing. Could be a book, a website, a short video, whatever—just something interesting to check out. Over time, the site has evolved a bit, and the new format is based on having three links: one featured idea and two related things. <\/p>\n

To see the email\/feature in its colorful glory, simply click here.<\/a><\/p>\n

The three things I chose to feature were the BTBA<\/span> 2012 finalists,<\/a> The Canvas<\/em>,<\/a> and this amazing Bill Johnston t-shirt.<\/a><\/p>\n

Just to dwell on the Bill Johnston t-shirt for a minute, this is something that Kaija Straumanis designed as a way of honoring Bill—this year’s winner of the BTBA<\/span> for his translation of Wieslaw Mysliwski’s Stone Upon Stone.<\/em> The plan is to sell these through Archipelago’s site, and at the ALTA<\/span> conference this fall. (And to make up t-shirts for other BTBA<\/span> winners . . . )<\/p>\n

Proceeds from sales of these shirts are being split among all worthy parties, so by buying this, not only will you be pimping one of the greatest translators working today, but you will be helping out Archipelago Books and Open Letter. And beyond that, it’s just totally rad. <\/p>\n
