Some of my favorite works of #SFinTranslation from 2025:

"I was also years away from editing a literary magazine, but issues of Boys’ Life and Field & Stream showed up in our mailbox on a regular basis, proof positive of the robust seriality of print culture in the 1970s and ’80s." worldliteraturetoday.org/2026/january...

“First, look for what feels singular, even if it doesn’t fit your idea of beauty; and second, trust your emotions—they will teach you a great deal about the work itself.” Thomas Schlesser answers our questions in the January issue. worldliteraturetoday.org/2026/january...

Terrific book. Short. Memorable. Dark. And oddly life-affirming.

How much easier would my life be if edelweiss had a "filter by translation" feature or something like that. Unless I'm just not seeing it. That is definitely a possibility.

Had a lot of fun talking to @casella.bsky.social on @mealofthorns.bsky.social about the year - in books, in the editing mines, in genre (and para-genre). Come for the general themes, stay for the book recs. Or, y’know, vice versa. And ask yourself, Sisyphus-like: what use is a year wrap-up anyway?

“Dear Fada, I know you’re busy submitting Ouzegane’s latest book ... but I really need your help.” Read Clelia Farris's story “Es and Is,” translated by Rachel Cordasco in @worldlittoday.bsky.social #TranslationMonth worldliteraturetoday.org/2025/septemb...

Oh, and shout out to Rachel Cordasco for making aware of this new title -- get yourself an RSS reader if you don't have one and add her blog feed, let the spec fic in translation come to you: www.sfintranslation.com?p=15303

Drift into a dreamlike setting in “The Island” by Violeta Ivković (tr. Alice Copple-Tosiç). This magical piece from our archives follows an unnamed narrator in search of a Christmas tree in the tropics. Read here: wordswithoutborders.org/read/article...

How excited am I? SO EXCITED @ucpress.bsky.social

I'd started reading LAME FATE/UGLY SWANS a couple times but then got pulled away. Now that I'm reading it, it's like it's the perfect time. This was when I was supposed to read it. It's an absolute gem. This & their other books show that the Strugatskys are two of the greatest SF writers ever.

The Strugatskys NEVER disappoint. Their stuff is just brilliant. Thank you to the translators for giving me the opportunity to read them in English! #SFinTranslation

Since 2003, we’ve offered international writers an entry point to the anglophone publishing world. Many contributors go on to win major awards; the last three Nobel Prize laureates—including Lászlo Krasznahorkai—are WWB contributors. Give now to support global writers: wwborders.live/2025Appeal

Can someone give me the names of the translators for each story in Never Stop—Finnish Science Fiction and Fantasy Stories ? Thanks! #SFinTranslation #Finnish
