Congratulations to author, Muriel Barbery, and translator, Alison Anderson!
In an odd twist, Muriel Barbery's novel
Gourmet Rhapsody will represent the USA in the category "Best Translation" at next February's Gourmand Awards for the Best Book on Food to be held at the
Paris Cookbook Fair, February 11-15, 2010.
Well deserved recognition not only for the author but for
Alison Anderson, who also translated Ms. Barbery's earlier novel,
The Elegance of the Hedgehog.
