majority of NBCC ambivalent to works in translation
Only five works in translation appeared on the National Book Critics Circle's longlist of recommended books in 2007? I haven't figured out how many titles are on the longlist, but there were over 800 people polled. That's sad.... very sad.
Scott Esposito fought the good fight for Enrique Vila-Matas' Montano's Malady though. He has a great essay on Vila-Matas titled "The Fruits of Parasitism" up on the Quarterly Conversation
