Starting in 2015, the Italian Prose in Translation Award (IPTA) recognizes the importance of contemporary Italian prose (fiction and literary non-fiction) and promotes the translation of Italian works into English. This prize is awarded annually to a translator of a recent work of Italian prose (fiction or literary non-fiction). The award-winning translator for 2023 will receive a $5,000 cash prize.

This year’s judges are Leah Janeczko, Jenny McPhee, and Jamie Richards. Follow this link to see what the judges had to say about each of the shortlisted titles.
