For her translation of Elsa Morante’s Lies and Sorcery, Jenny McPhee won the John Florio Prize, a biennial award for translations of Italian works into English.
For their joint translation of Álvaro Mutis’s Maqroll’s Prayer and Other Poems, Chris Andrews, Edith Grossman, and Alastair Reid won the Premio Valle Inclán, an annual award for translations of Spanish works into English.
