Niloufar Talebi, editor of Belonging, was recently nominated for a Northern California Book Award in the Translation category. Belonging is a collection of recent poetry by Iranians living around the world—the book has helped expose readers in the U.S. and abroad to the rich artistic tradition of Iran, something that is unfortunately overshadowed by contemporary politics. Belonging has received some excellent praise since its publication, including a great review on the popular literature blog Three Percent.
Talebi is the founder of The Translation Project, whose mission is to bring contemporary Iranian literature to worldwide audiences in multiple languages and media. North Atlantic would like to congratulate Talebi on this fantastic nomination, and thank everyone who supported this title along the way.
The 28th Annual Northern California Book Awards will be held on April 19th at the San Francisco Main Library in the Koret Auditorium.
