Women in Translation
I’ve been drawn to the voices of women in translation—stories that cross languages yet carry their own rhythm and truth. This list is my way of gathering those voices, so I can return to them and share them with others who might be looking too.
Recent Translations - Arabic
The University of Rochester found that only 3 percent of books published in the US are in translation. I want to create lists of recently published (fiction) literature (2022-2025) in translation from different languages, out of curiosity. Will mostly be sourced from the university's database, which goes up to 2024, and then sourced from publishers for 2025 (won't be comprehensive for 2025). Feel free to suggest titles, from the last 5/10 years if you like them, or other languages of interest!
