Prof. Johnny Lorenz of the English Department has been named a recipient of the 2024 Sundial Literary Translation Award for his translation of the Brazilian novel THE FRONT by Edimilson de Almeida Pereira. The novel focuses on a man who lives between a trash heap and the sea, a man “who, every minute of the day, holds himself back from setting the world on fire.” THE FRONT will be published by Sundial House, affiliated with Columbia University.
