The National Endowment of the Arts has awarded Tess Lewis a fellowship to support the translation from the German of the essay collection In the Forest of the Metropoles by Karl-Markus Gauß (b. 1954), who has written more than two dozen books and numerous articles and essays for German, Swiss, and Austrian newspapers and magazines. In the Forest of the Metropoles chronicles the diversity and wealth of languages, cultures, and individuals, predominantly from Eastern Europe, that have played a formative role in shaping contemporary Europe but now risk being forgotten.
