Interview: Translation Prize Nonfiction winner Alison Dundy 1

On May 22, 2014, the French-American Foundation—United States and the Florence Gould Foundation honored winners of the 27th Annual Translation Prize. The Translation Prize in Fiction went to Adriana Hunter for her translation of Eléctrico W by Hervé Le Tellier (Other Press). The Translation Prize in Nonfiction went to Alison Dundy and Nicholas Elliott for their translation of The Falling Sky by Davi Kopenawa and Bruce Albert (Harvard University Press). Prior to the Awards Ceremony at the Century Association in New York, Nonfiction winner Alison Dundy answered a few questions with the Foundation, sharing her insight on translation, literature, and the work behind her winning work, The Falling Sky. Question 1: The Falling Sky is a very unique book that brings the voice of the Yanomami people, a native nation of Brazilian Amazon, to Westerners. What did you think of the book when you first read it and when Harvard Press asked you to translate it?
