Works in translation are a thoroughly neglected segment of the American literary market, and we’ve created InTranslation to serve readers, by exposing them to writers and writing they might not otherwise see, and translators, by making samples of their work accessible to those who may wish to publish it. Featured translations are accompanied by biographies of the original author and the translator, and contributor contact information is included with permission. All previously featured work is available in a full-text archive.
