Winners of the 27th Annual Translation Prize in Nonfiction

Alison Dundy & Nicholas Elliott The Falling Sky by Davi Kopenawa & Bruce Albert • Harvard University Press Alison Dundy is a writer and translator from French and Italian into English. She coordinates the translation and interpretation programs for New York University’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies. She lives in New York. Nicholas Elliott is a writer and translator living in Woodside, Queens, and raised in . He has been a New York correspondent for French film magazine Cahiers du Cinéma since 2009 and is a Contributing Editor for Film for BOMB. The Falling Sky is a remarkable first-person account of the life story and cosmo-ecological thought of Davi Kopenawa, shaman and spokesman for the Yanomami of the Brazilian Amazon. Representing a people whose very existence is in jeopardy, Davi Kopenawa paints an unforgettable picture of Yanomami culture, past and present, in the heart of the rainforest — a world where ancient indigenous knowledge and shamanic traditions cope with the global geopolitics of an insatiable natural resources-extraction industry. Bruce Albert, a close friend since the 1970s, superbly captures Kopenawa’s intense, poetic voice.
