A new translated fiction reads booklet
Remember when online search engines used to ask you where you wanted to go that day? That's how we feel about translated fiction. It can take us anywhere, show us anything, bring us closer to the world. Its power is in its open borders.
Our new translated fiction recommended reads booklet can take you anywhere you want to go. With these recommended reads, the world will open up before you, bringing bustling cities, tropical forests and serene countryside into the palm of your hand - whether you're on an iPad or Kindle, have borrowed a book from your local library or have treated yourself in the airport bookshop to a new paperback.
This year we asked some of the UK's top writers as well as some other surprise guests about their favourite books in translation. The results were varied - we have graphic novels, short story collections, classics, poetry - everything that may entice you. Also we have the shortlist for this year's Independent Foreign Fiction Prize. We've also recommended some noteworthy books from our own personal library too.
So, read this booklet of recommended reads and ask yourself… where in the world would you like to visit today?
