José Eduardo Agualusa and Daniel Hahn have won the International Dublin Literary Award for the brilliant translation of Agualusa’s novel, A General Theory of Oblivion. This is the sixth book on which Agualusa and Hahn have collaborated.

Hahn says: “My career began with Agualusa.” Over the years, the two have formed a comfortable relationship, one that Hahn says enables him to stay true to the “music, cadence and comedy” of Agualusa’s prose.
