This Tilting World by Colette Fellous, translated by Sophie Lewis, shortlisted for NSW Premier's Translation Prize

As part of the NSW Premier’s Literary Awards Les Fugitives favourite This Titling World by Colette Fellous, translated by Sophie Lewis, has this week been shortlisted for the NSW Premier’s Translation Prize.

The novel ‘echoes Proust in its multitude of colourful portraits of people and place (…) echoes Roland Barthes’ use of fragmentary texts and images to offer readers a prismatic memoir of both political and cultural significance’ whilst Lewis’s translation is ‘ clear, fluent and poetic’.
