In honour of Han Kang, and translator Deborah Smith, winning the International Man Booker prize for the novel The Vegetarian, I decided to compile a list of my top 10 translated works.
Translators of books don’t often get the credit they deserve, which is really sad because it is almost on the same level as writing the book in the first place!! Correctly translating all sorts of hidden motives in the original language and all sorts of subtle nuances and even jokes can be a difficult task, even for a native speaker, let alone someone who is fluent from learning. LOVE ALL TRANSLATORS EQUALLY!!!!
