Kibogo and The Living and the Rest named to Oxford-Weidenfeld shortlist
The Oxford-Weidenfeld Translation Prize has just announced its 2024 shortlist, and we’re delighted to announce that two Archipelago releases made the list!
Warmest congratulations to Scholastique Mukasonga and translator Mark Polizzotti, whose Kibogo (out in the UK with Daunt Books) was included in the shortlist.
And congratulations as well to José Eduardo Agualusa and translator Daniel Hahn! We’re excited to reveal that their nominated work The Living and the Rest (out in the UK with MacLehose Press) will be published by Archipelago in Spring 2025.
Archipelago has already published Agualusa’s A General Theory of Oblivion, The Society of Reluctant Dreamers, and A Practical Guide to Levitation, all brilliantly translated by Hahn. We have also published four other titles by Mukasonga, with her latest, Sister Deborah, slated for publication in October.
