<\/p>\nMontreal, October 4, 2018 \u2014 The Literary Translators\u2019 Association of Canada (LTAC) announced the 34th John Glassco Literary Translation Prize winner on Saturday. Sauline Letendre was chosen from over 10 entries for Rouge, jaune et vert (\u00c9ditions Urubu), her French translation of Bolivian author Alejandro Saravia\u2019s novel rojo, amarillo y verde.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 2018 jury was comprised of Sonya Malaborza (Chair and LTAC vice-president, Atlantic), Jonathan Kaplansky, Benoit L\u00e9ger and Elisabet R\u00e0fols-Sagu\u00e9s, all LTAC members and professional translators. All were in agreement that selecting a winner among the three finalists was a difficult choice. In her translation of Nirliit, Juliana L\u00e9veill\u00e9-Trudel\u2019s raw and personal account of the harsh social realities in the Inuit North, Anita Anand wields her pen with precision to \u201cweave a measured account and a smooth narrative, capturing the author\u2019s colloquial tone and conveying the sometimes gritty dialogue of the characters.\u201d As Ocean Vuong\u2019s translator into French of the majestic Night Sky with Exit Wounds, the enigmatic Marc Charron shows \u201ctrue poetic mastery; many of his solutions are absolutely brilliant, and his verse follows that of his author\u2019s with acrobatic prowess.\u201d<\/p>\n
For her first book-length translation, this year\u2019s recipient of the John Glassco Prize, Sauline Letendre, took on \u201can exhilarating polyphonic and multifaceted text.\u201d Her author, Alejandro Saravia, moves between various layers of time, engages in wordplay, and saturates his text with, at times, rather obscure cultural references: all challenges with which Sauline engages skilfully and impressively. Her translation takes readers where they need to go and demonstrates a great deal of creativity, reproducing her author\u2019s feats of language in French. The result is an entrancing poetic narrative.<\/p>\n
