Translation takes the spotlight in WLT’s autumn issue, which—for the first time in its ninety-five-year history—is entirely devoted to the craft that makes world literature possible: every poem, story, essay, interview, and Notebook/Outpost contribution has been translated into English, and the entirety of the book review section is likewise dedicated to translated books. Highlights from the reviews include new books by Mayra Santos-Febres, Anne Carson, and Minae Mizumura, and the issue also includes a list of not-to-be missed translations published in 2021. With its focus on linguistic diversity, WLT remains your go-to guide for the best in international literature.
