    Well deserved. Autobiography of Red is stunning, the fragmentary form gives such mythical weight to every word.

    I shouldn't be surprised that this news and Ms. Carson are popular here, but I am and it is delightful.

    Never heard of her before, can someone explain the significance? I see that Autobiography of Red is praised for blending different things like translation/novel in verse/essays together, but that doesn't sound like something new? I've read Milorad Pavic's Dictionary of Khazars before, seems like it fits the same description?

    Iceland now has two Nobel laureates, or around 0.0005% of the population.

    Having worked on a few Greek translation projects, the thing I always come back to with her is how she leaves the gaps in Sappho visible instead of smoothing them over. Brackets on the page. Most translators can't resist filling those in.
