For so long, translation was almost like the Cinderella of the literary community. All the recent prizes are helping to correct that . . . now it seems that not only is there more interest in translated literature, there is a lot more interest in work from women, the Global South, and LBGTQ-plus communities. This is really important. In terms of my own work, and books I commission through Seagull Books’s Hungarian list, I feel I’ve been able to champion more authors.
