Best Literary Translations 2027, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Guest edited by Emily Wilson, Best Literary Translations 2027 features poetry and prose that gives voice to the world's collective grief, struggle, and joy, brought into English by some of the most talented translators working today.

The fourth installment of the Best Literary Translations anthology features prose and poetry translated from over 20 different languages---including rarely-translated dialects including Cherokee, Afrikaans, Diné, and Bahasa Indonesian. These literary works shine a spotlight on some of the world's dark corners: a Ukrainian poet and combat medic writes from within the ongoing war; a Salvadoran author traces the terrifying history of forced disappearance; a Palestinian writer looks back at the wreckage of Gaza while on a humanitarian caravan to Europe.

Throughout the 34 works featured in this year's anthology, each accompanied by a translator's note reflecting on the discovery, translation, and resonance of the original work, Best Literary Translations brings forth urgent voices that bear unflinching witness to personal and collective devastation, and find moments of surprise and beauty within it.
