Rachel Cordasco has you covered when it comes to learning about and finding SF In Translation. She runs the SFInTranslation.com website, maintains a truly epic SF In Translation spreadsheet, and tweets about newly translated work on twitter at @Rcordas . She translates Italian science fiction to English, and has worked closely with Clelia Farris and Francesco Verso to get more Italian speculative fiction published for readers of English. Her translations and essays have been published at Strange Horizons, Samovar, SFRA Review, SFSignal, and elsewhere. She recently published Out of This World: Speculative Fiction in Translation from the Cold War to the New Millennium.

In this episode we talk about science fiction from outside the english speaking world. If you’re looking for a happy squee-fest on international speculative fiction and where to find it, this episode is for you!
