You can find another piece of cheerful news on the American PEN Club web site: the annual awards of the American branch of the worldwide writers' organization include the PEN Translation Fund Grant for Štěpán Šimek for his translations of Zelenka's Theremin and Iva Volánková-Klestilová's 3sisters2005.cz. Said the award-winning translator who lives in Portland: „It's quite a prestigious award assessing both the quality of the translation and that of the originals, so in a way it's also an award for Petr and Iva."
