The Politics of Publishing Translations
Frankfurt Book Fair, Weltempfang, Hall 3.1 L25
Four publishers with an international background discuss the significance, impacts and opportunities of publishing work in translation. How does the publication of translations contribute to the literary scene in their countries of origin, or add to the socio-political debate in our troubled times? What criteria are used for selecting books? Do they sometimes prompt surprising reactions?
