From quiet literary masterpieces to gripping contemporary novels, translated fiction reminds us that great stories truly have no borders.

"In a world trying to tell us how far apart we are, this necessary and urgent project reminds us of the kinships that transcend borders and time. A special thanks to every translator carrying ideas and stories across languages to bring us each thrilling new book!" —Maaza Mengiste, author of The Shadow King

Me, smiling goofily, with the six-volume In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust, translated by C.K. Scott Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin, revised by D.J. Enright
A long but truly entrancing journey ... eight months later, I've happily met the #InSearchofLostTime reading challenge. #Proust #MarcelProust #TranslatedLiterature
