| Abstract: | The article discusses the growing significance of U.K. publishers specializing in translations within the U.S. market. Publishers like And Other Stories and Pushkin Press have found success by offering translated works that resonate with American readers, challenging the notion that there is little interest in such literature. Notable titles include "The Book of Disappearance" by Ibtisam Azem and "Heart Lamp" by Banu Mushtaq, both of which received recognition from the International Booker Prize. The article highlights the increasing receptiveness of U.S. readers to translated works, particularly from languages such as Spanish, Japanese, and Korean, and notes that U.S. sales now represent a significant portion of these publishers' overall revenue.
