Dr Elly Jaff\u00e9 Prize of \u20ac40,000 for literary translator French - Dutch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Dr Elly Jaff\u00e9 Prize 2024 for the best literary translation from French into Dutch has been awarded to Kiki Coumans. She receives the prize for her oeuvre and in particular for her translation of <\/strong>Summer '80s<\/strong><\/em> by Marguerite Duras published by Vleugels publishers in 2022. The Dr Elly Jaff\u00e9 Prize amounts to 40,000 euros, making it the largest literary translation prize in the Netherlands.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jury praised the craftsmanship evident in Couman's translations and the thorough research she conducts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jury on Kiki Coumans: \"Anyone reading a Duras translation by Coumans is reading a text by Duras but in Dutch. At no point does the source text still shine through the translation, even on close reading; the reader has the feeling of reading a text that Duras would have written had she been Dutch- rather than French-speaking.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kiki Coumans will receive the award at a festive ceremony on Thursday afternoon 10 April 2025 at Internationaal Theater Amsterdam (ITA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the winner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kiki Coumans studied Modern Dutch Literature and French Language and Literature at the University of Amsterdam and in Paris. She has been translating prose and poetry from French since 1999. She also works as an editor and reviewer for poetry magazine Awater<\/em>. She also writes essays on literature and translation, including for Filter, Revisor <\/em>and De Groene Amsterdammer<\/em>. In 2000, she received the first Elly Jaff\u00e9 Stipendium for promising French translators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Dr Elly Jaff\u00e9 Prize was established in 2000 on the initiative of literary critic Elly Jaff\u00e9 (1920-2003) to stimulate interest in the French language and literature in the Netherlands. Translations in the genres of narrative or contemplative prose and poetry are eligible for the prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Elly Jaff\u00e9 Prize is housed in the Author Prizes Foundation, managed by the Authors' Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
