N2  - "Speculative fiction is a particularly international genre and an ever-increasing percentage of it is translated and published in English. Out of This World is the first book to explore this trend, highlighting novels, collections, and anthologies translated into English from fourteen different source languages since 1960. Each chapter includes text summaries, analysis, and references to secondary scholarship in an effort to reveal the diversity of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and magical realism available to Anglophone readers since the mid-twentieth century. Lay readers and scholars will discover much about Middle Eastern dystopias, Polish tales of alien encounters, French space-adventure novels, Japanese horror, and everything in between. With chapter introductions by authors, editors, translators, and scholars deeply familiar with speculative fiction in their respective source languages, Out of This World will add to the growing field of world speculative fiction studies and encourage current and future scholars to teach and write about speculative fiction in translation (SFT)"--
