Fiston Mwanza Mujila’s The Villain’s Dance, translated from the French by Roland Glasser, invites readers to navigate complex timelines and settings, ultimately highlighting the convergence of human experiences marked by political and environmental challenges. Additionally, Yáng Shuāng-zǐ’s Taiwan Travelogue, translated from Mandarin Chinese by Lin King, explores the nuanced relationship between a Japanese writer and her Taiwanese interpreter.

Finally, Samar Yazbek’s poignant narrative, Where the Wind Calls Home, translated by Leri Price, captures the rich cultural heritage of Syria through the eyes of a soldier amidst the trials of civil conflict. These exceptional works reflect the power of translated literature to offer profound insights into different cultures and histories.
