Roisins Reading | Top 8 Books by Women in Translation | International Booker Winners, Korean Lit & Poetry etc @RoisinsReading | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Hello friends, August is Women in Translation Month so I thought I'd bring you my Top 8 Books by Women in Translation. I say 9 in the video because I can't count, it's actually 8. There's one that won the International Booker, a couple of Korean books, some Persian Poetry and several short, unsettling books about women that go a bit weird (my new favourite genre). Let me know your favourite books in translation by women or non-binary authors in the comments below.
