The Best Translated Book Award — launched in 2008 by Three Percent, the University’s website for translated literature — is the only prize of its kind to honor the best original works of international fiction and poetry published in the United States.

The literary translation press has been selected to receive an Art Works grant to expand its work in promoting emerging international authors.

Kathleen Parthé’s book A Herzen Reader features one hundred essays and editorials by Russian radical thinker Alexander Herzen.

This year’s event was part of “Literary Mews,” a new component of the PEN World Voices Festival organized by the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses.

Selected from a pool of 1,509, the press was awarded $45,000 to support the promotion of books in translation and the continuation of the translation centric website, Three Percent.
