I’m really happy with my results for literature in translation. Eleven languages were represented by 24 books. Here is the breakdown by original language:
Japanese (5)
French (4)
Hungarian (4)
Icelandic (2)
Norwegian (2)
Russian (2)
German (1)
Chinese (1)
Italian (1)
Swedish (1)
Spanish (1)
The list below is by author nationality. If a book is set in a different country, it is noted. Also, some of the authors have moved from their original country, and if known, that is also indicated. Twenty-one countries were represented by 75 different books. I didn’t count the US authors at the bottom of the list in the totals, but I did note the settings of those books just for general interest.
