Latvian Literature of the Year 2024 Award (LALIGABA)
The Latvian translation of Viktor Martinovich’s novel MOVA by translator Māra Poliakova has won the National Latvian Literary Prize in the category „Best prose translation in Latvian“.
«The award was given for the skillful and persistent work of the translator, bringing to life the visionary anti-utopia of the Belarusian author in Latvian, convincingly showing the coding (and narcotic) effect of a small language.» JURY
