What is Translated Fiction?
A vital bridge for global literature, translated fiction has surged in visibility through prizes like the International Booker, which splits its award equally between author and translator. It brings voices such as Japanese, Korean, and Latin American writers to English-language readers, expanding literary horizons beyond any single culture.
