What does it take for an Arabic novel to find its way into English? With trustees and administrators of the International Prize for Arabic Fiction, this conversation considers the people and decisions behind literary translation, from publishers and prizes to editors, translators, and readers. It asks how Arabic fiction can reach wider audiences while keeping the texture, voice, and complexity of the original work.
