Our regular collaborator and one of the translators, featured in this website Angela Rodel has been selected as one of the 2010 Grant recipients of The PEN Translation Fund in US.
The grant is awarded for Angela Rodel’s translation of the Holy Light, stories by Georgi Tenev, a Bulgarian playwright, novelist, film/TV screenwriter, and talk show host.
Alloying political sci-fi with striking eroticism, the stories in Holy Light depict a world of endless, wearying revolution and apocalypse, where bodies have succumbed to a sinister bio-politics of relentless cruelty and perversion. “In first class they offered easy emancipation, perhaps even electrocution, but he was traveling economy class where they wouldn’t even serve him food.” (No publisher yet)
We wish the author and the translator success in finding publisher in the U.S.
