The Program in Comparative Literature is pleased to announce that Milan Reynolds is this year's recipient of the Gnarra Family Fellowship in Comparative Literature. The award, generously established by Comparative Literature alumna Dr. Irene E. Gnarra, is awarded to one or more doctoral candidates in Comparative Literature at Rutgers who are "preparing a dissertation that involves translating a literary work [or literary materials] into English." This year, the faculty committee recognizes the work of Milan Reynolds, who is writing a dissertation on "Decomposing the Voice: Tape Poetics and the Biopolitics of Listening." The committee recognizes the fundamental contributions that translation from both Italian and Spanish makes to the project; the integrity, skill, and beauty of Milan's translations; and honors the sure and exciting contributions his scholarship will make to both Translation Studies and literary studies more broadly.
