A Fist or a Heart Awarded the ASF's 2019 Translation Prize
In December 2019, I received the American-Scandinavian Foundation’s Nadia Christensen Translation Prize for my translation of Kristín Eiríksdóttir’s A Fist or a Heart. The Nadia Christensen prize is an annual award for the best translation submitted to the ASF's translation competition and includes a bronze medallion and a $2,500 award. The competition judges particularly praised the language of the translation, stating that it "convincingly captures the tactile, vigorous prose of the original in English."
