Taiwanese Literature in Translation
Literary works from Taiwan have started to make their mark on the global stage. In the past year alone, local authors have received recognition from the Newman Prize for Chinese literature and the PEN Translation Prize. Behind the scenes, who are the translators who help to carry these books across borders? To learn more about Taiwanese literature outside the country, this episode of Zoom In Zoom Out features literary translator Jenna Tang. Jenna is a board member of the American Literary Translators Association and shares with us why everyone should be reading more literature originally written in other languages.
