Parallel Worlds: Translating Genres
Thursday, August 26, 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM (EDT)
Online Talk | Admission Free | Registration Required
Crime, science fiction, fantasy, romance, horror. Genre fiction is big business in English, but what about in Japanese? What hurdles do they face bringing these niche books to North American readers and what challenges do they face in translating these fantastical worlds into English? Join us as we talk to leading genre translators and learn what lies behind the curtain.
Translator and editor Rachel Cordasco dive deep with acclaimed translators Takami Nieda (Cage of Zeus, Noble V: Greylancer) and Emily Balistrieri (Kiki’s Delivery Service, The Night is Short, Walk On Girl) to bring us the real story.
