Back in 1980, in the World SF newsletter, Gerald Bishop proposed a bibliography or database of #SFinTranslation.
I wonder what he'd think of the Big SFT Spreadsheet! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Rustam S. Katz's *A History of Soviet Fantastica* in Japanese (translated by Hiroaki Umemura; Republic, 2017) narrates—nay, fictionalizes the history of Soviet literature as the history of #fantastika (SF + fantasy literature). 👀

Going to dedicate part of an issue of the new #SFinTranslation magazine at some point to Haikasoru so that we can all reminisce about what a wonderful resource it was for excellent Japanese SFT.

Most #SFinTranslation each year (for the past few years) is published by @ndbooks.bsky.social. The last few #SFinTranslation anthologies have come from @twolinespress.com.
Neither is a "genre fiction" publisher.

It is fascinating to see that, in fact, a few of the works on this list have been translated and published in English since 2010, including TYPESCRIPT OF THE SECOND ORIGIN and MOUNTAINS, SEAS, AND GIANTS

I kid you not, this #SFinTranslation magazine could be a Clarissa-length novel every single issue.
