Recs if you like My Brilliant Life...

a non-exhaustive list.

In line with Han Kang winning the Nobel Prize in Literature 2024. This is a list of popular Korean fiction translated to English.

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!
