Location: SC, USA		Charlesdee, thanks for this. It led to this link http://www.sfftawards.org/ which is the award for SFF in translation. That link led me to Black Coat Press, publisher of translations of French SFF. http://www.blackcoatpress.com/. So now I have a French translation, I want to read called Mysteryville by Jules Lermina and a Chinese translation I want to read called Atlas: The Archaeology of an Imaginary City by Kai-cheung Dung. I've been doing the In Translation Challenge in stealth mode because I was afraid I would not find enough that I want to read. I should probably sign up now

Rhondak, You have taught me that I have to move fast. I thought my next post would be a link to those translation awards but you beat me to it. I have a copy of Atlas, last year's winner. It looks very Borgesian, which is a good thing. If you look at the previous years' listings, they show everything that was nominated. It proves there is a lot out there if you do a little looking.

Location: SC, USA		Charlesdee, Atlas sounded like Calvino's Invisible Cities, which is one of my favorite books. Sorry, I didn't mean to steal your thunder!
