The Heim Fund grants are the single most important form of support available to early-career translators, made possible by a $$$ donation from the brilliant and generous translator Michael Henry Heim; @PENAmerica has not been a good steward of the fund.

100+ translators call for PEN America to relinquish control of the Heim Fund.

Over 100 of the country’s most prominent literary translators—including Esther Allen, Susan Bernofsky, Peter Cole, Jennifer Croft, Damion Searls, and Natasha Wimmer—have signed an open letter…

I mean, sort of funny but also slanderous, because if you follow this line of reasoning through to its logical conclusion, it implies that publishers should think twice before hiring Jewish translators for German books. 2/2

. @magda8lena 's article about Benjamin Moser especially resonated for me because I myself was once bullied by him: physically restrained via a "jerk and pull" handshake and verbally threatened. He's over a foot taller than me. It felt violent, and clearly was intended to.
