Dr. Quay and Mr. Ghassemi will be awarded $10,000 and $5,000, respectively, while the novel will be published by Deep Vellum in 2025. The judges would like to recognize Hajar Hussaini for her translation of Khosraw Mani\u2019s Death and its brother as an honorable mention.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3638 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/peykmagazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1reza-ghasemi-226x375.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peykmagazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1reza-ghasemi-226x375.jpg 226w, https:\/\/peykmagazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1reza-ghasemi.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">MELC received twenty varied and exciting submissions from around the world.

The judges write:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cGhassemi\u2019s novel, whimsical and darkly humorous at once, follows the life (and afterlife) of an Iranian man recently arrived in Paris, who finds himself amidst a bizarre group of exiles trying to eke out an existence in the French metropolis. Darting among absurd characters and comical episodes, Dr. Quay\u2019s translation sample is a romp to read, and draws the reader in with ease, while also dropping anxious hints at the provocative political and social questions the novel promises to raise about the immigrant experience. A winner of the prestigious Golshiri Prize in Iran, Woodwind Harmony will be an exciting addition to the library of modern Persian literature available in English.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3649 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/peykmagazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Dr.-Michelle-Quay-346x375.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peykmagazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Dr.-Michelle-Quay-346x375.jpg 346w, https:\/\/peykmagazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Dr.-Michelle-Quay.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">MELC looks forward to working with Dr. Quay and deep Vellum to ensure that Woodwind Harmony will soon be in the hands of English-language readers and listeners in print and audio book formats.
