Translation from Outside the Metropolis

The London Bookfair

March 15, 2017

Following a tumultuous year in world politics, does contemporary fiction and media need to give a better representation of the variety of national voices and perspectives? Is the rural vs. urban divide that we’re hearing so much about an issue in translation? We speak to people at all stages of the writing chain to hear their take on whether voices from outside the metropolis can find a home in the global market.
