Recorded Program
Fiction in translation for adult readers has become increasingly popular, and translated picture books are once again crossing national borders successfully. But where are the books for teen readers, written by writers from other lands and translated into English? This panel will highlight recent and noteworthy books in translation, describe how to find and select these books, and discuss how we can build on the natural curiosity of teenagers to embrace international literature in translation.
