About the LitSIG

AATIA's Literary Special Interest Group has been meeting since the early 1990s to share work, critique one another's translations, ask questions about their interpretations, solutions, and prospects, and provide one another moral support and real solutions to real translation and publishing problems. LitSIG also serves as a resource for anyone looking for a literary translator or seeking prompt and useful answers to literary translation questions. The group welcomes all literary translators, from beginner to pro, and meets on a bimonthly basis.

In the fall of 2003, Pangloss Publishing put out Thresholds: An Anthology of World Literature from the Heart of Texas, the culmination of a two-year collaboration by ten members. In November 2003, he group did readings from the anthology at the Texas Book Festival in Austin and at the annual meeting of the American Literary Translators Association in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In December the Texas Institute of Letters named Thresholds a finalist for the Soeurette Diehl Frasier Translation Prize.
