What Awards Did Jennifer Teege Win For Her Book?

There’s something bittersweet about seeing a personal story cross borders, and with 'My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me' I’ve watched that happen. From what I’ve gathered over the years — through bookshop window displays, foreign reviews, and a handful of international interviews — the memoir has been translated into many of the world’s major languages. You can definitely find it in English, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese editions. It’s also available in several Northern European languages like Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Finnish, and in Central/Eastern European tongues such as Polish, Czech, Hungarian, and Romanian. Beyond Europe, the book reached readers in Hebrew and a number of Asian markets: there are translations in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (often both simplified and traditional editions depending on region). I’ve also seen editions in Turkish and a few other languages aimed at wider Mediterranean and Middle Eastern readerships. I don’t have a perfect catalogue in front of me, so if you need a definitive list for citation or collecting, the safest route is to check the publisher’s international rights page or library databases like WorldCat — but for casual reading, you’ll likely find it in most big-language markets. I still get a little chill thinking about the first time I read it on a late-night train; it’s one of those books whose translations all seem to carry the same raw shock and honesty, no matter the language.
