Three books translated from German have made the fiction and poetry shortlists for the Best Translated Book Award:
Elfriede Czurda: Almost 1 Book, Almost 1 Life, trans. Rosmarie Waldrop
Herta Müller: The Hunger Angel, trans. Philip Boehm
Urs Widmer: My Father's Book, trans. Donal McLaughlin
Woo!
None on the Impac Prize or the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize shortlists, but hey. Lots of other good books out there.
