Vertaler David Doherty heeft de Vondel Translation Prize 2022 gewonnen voor Summerbrother, zijn fantastische en veelgeprezen Engelse vertaling van Zomervacht.

‘Doherty writes with a propulsive rhythm, and delicately follows all the metrical shifts in Jaap Robben’s Summer Brother, a compelling and filmic novel. Doherty’s talent shines especially brightly in the colloquial exchanges between the characters, creating an idiolect for each, with an ear akin to that of a playwright.’ – Jury Vondel Prize 2022
