National Book Award for Translated Literature - Winners and longlists
10 participants, 65 books
Overview
The National Book Award for Translated Literature is one of five annual National Book Awards recognizing outstanding literary works translated into English administered by the National Book Foundation. This award was previously given from 1967 to 1983 but did not require the author to be living and was for fiction only. It was reintroduced in its new version in 2018 and was open to living translators and authors, for both fiction and non-fiction.
The award recognizes one book published by a U.S. publisher located in the United States from December 1 to November 30. The original text need not have been published in the year of the award submission, only the translated work. For the Translated Literature award, neither author nor translator are required to be U.S. citizens.
