Electric Lit's 20 Translated Short Story Collections From Around the World

It is estimated that only 3 percent of books sold in the U.S. are works in translation. The question is why don't Americans read more translated literature? The American publishing industry is insular. The work necessary to find and acquire non-English texts seems insurmountable due to various economic costs and a lack of language diversity in publishing...
This is not to say there are not publishers, literary non-profits, and small presses who are attempting to bring better awareness toward translation. As readers, we are agents of change. And we have an ability to focus the conversation and encourage access and inclusivity in publishing.
