Delighted that my translation of Durs Grünbein, ‘Russians at the Gate’, from his Die Jahre im Zoo (2016) that appeared in the special German edition of New England Review, has been nominated for ther Pushcart prize. Read the story here; or better still subscribe to the journal
The edition of New England Review (37.3, 2016) is a brilliant introduction to new German writing including some wonderful writers and fantastic translators.
