WINNER OF THE 2019 FITZCARRALDO EDITIONS ESSAY PRIZE: <i>Fifty Sounds</i> won the 2019 Fitzcarraldo Editions Essay Prize, an annual competition for unpublished writers that seeks to reward the best proposal for a book-length essay. Previous winners include Matthew McNaught's <i>Immanuel</i> and Joanna Pocock's <i>Surrender</i>, which was published in the UK by Fitzcarraldo in May 2019 and in North America by House of Anansi in September 2019. WRITING &amp; TRANSLATION: Leaning on the works of Wittgenstein and Sontag,<i>Fifty Sounds</i> is an attentive and generous exploration of language, writing and translation that will appeal to readers of with an interest in linguistics and translation and to fans of ANNE CARSON, LYDIA DAVIS, and KATE BRIGGS. TRAVEL WRITING &amp; JAPAN: As a record of Polly Barton's time in Japan, <i>Fifty Sounds</i> will appeal to fans of travel writing, especially to those with an interest in ever-popular Japan. <i>Fifty Sounds</i> carefully avoids romanticising the country, seeking instead to delve more deeply and honestly - yet still affectionately - into its cultural and linguistic landscape.
