Tomorrow in NYC
From the Open Letter Books announcement:
Join Us to Celebrate the 2019 Best Translated Book Awards!
As part of this year's New York Rights Fair, the winners of the 2019 Best Translated Book Awards will be announced at the Jacob Javits Center at 5pm on Wednesday, May 29th. This will be immediately followed by a reception, and an afterparty at The Brooklyneer starting at 7pm. International Literature: Promoting and Finding Audiences The festivities kick off at 4:15 with a panel moderated byChad W. Post and featuring Lisa Lucas (National Book Foundation), Jennifer Croft (writer and translator), Michael Reynolds (Europa Editions), andNick Buzanski (Book Culture).Over the past decade, there has been a lot of focus on the "3% Problem" (less than 3% of all books published in America are translated into English) and on the production of more works in translation. But simply increasing the number of published works of international literature is not enough—for an interest in international literature to continue to expand among English readers, the industry needs to focus on developing larger audiences for these works. This panel will explore a variety of initiatives—from the new National Book Award for Translation, to the impact of the Man Booker International Prize, to the Booksellers without Borders program—to identify ways in which to get translated literature into the hands of more readers. BTBA Announcement
At 5pm, Patrick Smith will unveil the winners of this year's Best Translated Book Awards. Thanks to the support of the Amazon Literary Partnership, each of the winning authors and translators will receive $2,000.The winners will also be announced on The Millions, which is where you can find the list of ten fiction finalists, and the five poetry finalists. Speculation is running high, and we encourage you to chime in with your opinions on Twitter by using the hashtag #BTBA2019. Immediately following the announcement of the two winners, there will be a reception for everyone attending BookExpo/New York Rights Fair. Afterparty at The Brooklyneer
For those who aren't able to attend BookExpo/NYRF, there will be an informal afterparty starting at 7pm at The Brooklyneer (220 W. Houston). Come by and have a drink with some of the judges, a few publishers, and other enthusiasts of international literature. This is open to the public, and a great way to kick off your night! About the BTBA
The Best Translated Book Award was founded in 2007 (making this its twelfth iteration) to draw attention to the best works of translated literature that came out the following year. The award’s emphasis is on the quality of the book and translation, with the argument that you can’t have a great work of literature without both of these aspects working at a very high level.Starting with the 2009 award (all years given are for the year in which the winners are announced; the books are from the year previous), works of fiction and poetry were awarded separately. And beginning with the 2011 award, each winning author and translator received a cash prize thanks to the Amazon Literary Partnership program. Thanks to this program, we have given out $125,000 in prizes to international authors and their translators.

Each language has its own tolerance to gravity—or to weightlessness.

10, 38, and 54 for Vaalaketh?
10: If they were in a rock band, what role would they play?
Lead singer. He doesn’t know how to play any instruments and doesn’t have time to learn but he’s got an 18 in charisma and already sings to entertain himself so he could make it work.
38: What fairytale/myth suits your character the best?
dare i say cain and abel…different motives but same result lol. we’re gonna go with that since i was never a mythology kid.
54: What is something they currently look forward to? What is something they dread?
Well he was looking forward to poking around a new and creepy abandoned location (the citadel of the ravens), but that has turned into a bit of dread. Specifically having to go back and tell the wizard they’re working with that his beloved apprentice got yanked through a portal and eaten by a wild wyvern. He’s going to try and avoid having to do that at all costs.

In the dnd campaign I’m currently playing our party has just defeated a group of cultist’s of Moander (plus Moander’s still forming avatar) who were trying to summon his avatar and allow him to destroy the city (again) and go on a rampage. And as a reward the city might offer us either monitory compensation or a house/property. So we were looking at a bunch of maps of various properties ooc to get a feel for what we might want.
And boy if home ownership isn’t the fantasy of all fantasies to get to experience while playing dnd.
Vaal: I would like something outside of the city because I like space and dislike crowds.
Me: Yes I understand, but look. Listen. Great layout with plenty of space in this townhouse. It’s close to everything. Has a cool basement with access to the tunnels you like so much, and….a wrap around porch👀
