***
“Of the finalists, Tamina Hauser’s translation immediately distinguished itself for its precisely-rendered and tonally accurate language. Hers was a translation that not only addressed the surface of the text but conveyed a vivid and engaging sense of the narrator’s consciousness, which is directly linked to the profound theme of compromised memory and identity in this novel of the near future.”
