Featured Translators

Translation matters.

If you enjoy international literature, you know that translation matters. At MONKEY, we focus on contemporary Japanese fiction translated into English, and we’ve worked with many of the very best Japanese-English translators and some who are just getting started.

“Featured Translators” showcases some of these rising stars, with stories and essays by contemporary Japanese authors and fresh translations of modern classics.
