Speculative Fiction in Translation from Around the World

By Rachel S. Cordasco

A comprehensive look at the speculative fiction that has been translated into English from over forty languages over the past half-century.

Each chapter in Speculative Fiction in Translation offers an analysis of SFT from the eight major regions of the world to explore why certain subgenres (e.g., science fiction, horror) predominate and how this knowledge can help us cultivate a better understanding of what is chosen for translation and how it impacts the domestic US market. This is the only book that captures the global diversity of this genre, offering readers an accessible entry into the world of translated science fiction and inspiring scholars to do more research in the field.
