The twenty-first century has witnessed an explosion of speculative
fiction in translation (SFT). Rachel Cordasco examines speculative
fiction published in English translation since 1960, ranging from
Soviet-era fiction to the Arabic-language dystopias that emerged
following the Iraq War. Individual chapters on SFT from Korean,
Czech, Finnish, and eleven other source languages feature an
introduction by an expert in the language's speculative fiction
tradition and its present-day output. Cordasco then breaks down
each chapter by subgenre--including science fiction, fantasy, and
horror--to guide readers toward the kinds of works that most
interest them. Her discussion of available SFT stands alongside an
analysis of how various subgenres emerged and developed in a given
language. She also examines the reasons a given subgenre has been
translated into English. An informative and one-of-a-kind guide,
Out of This World offers readers and scholars alike a tour of
speculative fiction's new globalized era.
