Grab a cuppa and get to know Translator, Katharine Halls. Katharine was in conversation with translator, Vineet Lal discussing her work and career and offering a glimpse into her creative routines.
This event was part of the our John Calder Week, a week of events to celebrate the SoA’s new John Calder Translation Prize which was launched in November 2024.
The John Calder Translation Prize is an annual award for translations into English of full-length ambitious, groundbreaking works of literary merit and general interest. The winner is awarded £3,000 and a runner-up is awarded £1,000.
The aim of the John Calder Translation Prize is to celebrate new and ambitious translations into English of full-length works (fiction, non-fiction and poetry) which are distinguished by the highly personal and imaginative approach of the authors to their subject. Submissions can be from any language into English.
