N2  - This reference material provides an overview of the tremendous range and scope of translated world fiction available in English. Readers will acquire knowledge on the vast world beyond North America that is conveyed by fiction titles from dozens of countries and language traditions. Approximately it contains 1,000 contemporary non-English-language fiction titles which are fully annotated and thousands of others are listed. Organization is primarily by language, as language often reflects cultural cohesion better than national borders or geographies, but also by country and culture. In addition to contemporary titles, each chapter features a brief overview of earlier translated fiction from the group. Importantly, it provides in-depth bibliographic essays for each chapter that will enable librarians and library users to further explore the literature of numerous languages and cultural traditions
