We are proud to announce Leg over Leg‘s nomination for The American Literary Translators Association’s 2016 National Translation Award in Prose—the oldest award for a work of literary translation that has “made an outstanding contribution to literature in English by masterfully recreating the artistic force of a book of consummate quality,” and the only one to include an evaluation of the original language text as well as the translation.

Congratulations to its intrepid translator, Humphrey Davies!
