“Part of the reason I’m focusing on translating as much literature from Madagascar as I possibly can is because there needs to be more of it.”
—Allison M. Charette in an interview with the NEA
Literary Arts inspire, enrich, educate, and entertain. They reminds us that there is beauty and joy in language, that others have insights worth paying attention to, that in our struggles we are not alone. By helping writers and translators create new work and connect with audiences through publishers and other literary organizations and programs, the National Endowment for the Arts celebrates the literary arts as an essential reflection of our nation's rich diversity of voices.
