🇷🇴 We are wishing the brilliant Liliana Corobca and Monica Cure the best of luck at tonight's award ceremony for the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation (@womenintranslation.bsky.social) 2025! 🇷🇴

The Warwick Prize for Women in Translation will be awarded at a ceremony this evening in London. Browse the titles on the shortlist and longlist in 2025 - and all years - on our @bookshop.org page: uk.bookshop.org/lists/warwic.... The winner will be announced at 7.30pm!

When I filed my review of TOO GREAT A SKY last year, I originally had a line saying something to the effect that Monica Cure should win every award for her translation. Haven’t read all of these shortlisted titles yet but glad to see Corobca’s novel on here as hopefully more people will read it.

Congratulations to our contributors Évelyne Trouillot, Krisztina Tóth, and Han Kang for being shortlisted for the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation! If you're interested in reading more from these fantastic authors— head to our website!

Over the moon that 'Francis Bacon's Nanny' has been shortlisted for the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation 🎉 Delighted to be included on such an amazing list 🌟

Such a great shortlist - was at the ceremony last year when the winner was the brilliant Nelly Sachs translated by Andrew Shanks @carcanet.bsky.social . Great to see another poet, Krisztina Tóth @bloodaxebooks.bsky.social, in the running this year.

It’s really interesting that this prize includes different genres, including novels, poetry and memoir. I’ve only read Han Kang’s We Do Not Part so far, which is an excellent book. I most want to read Désirée Congo next (if I can find it). 💙📚🖋️

Enjoyed The Censor’s Notebook by Liliana Corobca, so it’s nice to see her latest novel getting some attention. Longtime Tóth fan too - gorgeously spare, funny, quotidian cum metaphysical poetry. Interesting non-fiction picks. Such a great short list! #BookSky #Translation

'Krisztina Toth’s luminous and haunting poetry tells the story of a self, in public and private.' My Secret Life: Selected Poems, translated from Hungarian by poet @georgeszirtes.bsky.social, has been shortlisted for the @womenintranslation.bsky.social Prize. www.bloodaxebooks.com/news?article...

I'm absolutely ecstatic! What amazing company Liliana Corobca and I @sevenstoriesuk.bsky.social are in!

Many congratulations to the writers and translators on the @womenintranslation.bsky.social shortlist, especially to Hungarian poet Krisztina Tóth and her translator @georgeszirtes.bsky.social, shortlisted for My Secret Life: Selected Poems, published by Bloodaxe in February this year.

Always a long/shortlist worth paying attention to 👇

Some interesting books on this longlist! I’ve been enjoying reading Kurdish writer Fatma Aydemir’s ‘Djinns’ lately (translated from German by @jpolizei.bsky.social). Looks like there are some other titles I need to add to my ever-growing “to read” pile!

Great books on the longlist! What have been some of your favorite books in translation of 2025?

Just finished Han Kang's We Do Not Part last night. It will take a while to process all that is contained between the covers. The writing & translation (by e. yaewon & Paige Aniyah Morris) are exquisite. There is love & tenderness & care, profound trauma & brutality, art & nature & spirits & memory.

So excited that Too Great a Sky @sevenstoriesuk.bsky.social (@sevenstories.bsky.social) is on this amazing list for this wonderful prize!!!

We are thrilled that TOO GREAT A SKY by Liliana Corobca and translated by Monica Cure has been longlisted for the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation 2025!

This is definitely worth exploring! 💙📚🖋️

Congrats to everyone on the long list! ✨ Am especially proud of my pal Kevin Gerry Dunn, translator of HUNGRY FOR WHAT by Maria Bastarós ( @dauntbookspub.bsky.social). Go team! 👏
