Over at SF Signal, there is the first in a multi-part discussion on international SF by various contributors, including Apex Book of World SF editor Lavie Tidhar, all answering the question What is going on right now in the international sf/f scene that anglophone readers might be missing out on?

We’ll be following the discussion and commentary, of course, and plan to offer you some new links to available material. Meanwhile, to add just a little: translator Sue Burke (one of the contributors above) discusses more of the issues surrounding translation and its costs, and for those interested in French writer Pierre Bordage (recommended in the comments), there is a short introduction to his work – including a translation of the first two chapters of Bordage’s novel, Les Guerriers du Silence (The Warriors of Silence).
