koreanlit1-9, Exercise 3: Translators and the route abroad

Model answer:

Translators named: Han Kang: Deborah Smith (The Vegetarian, Human Acts, The White Book); Deborah Smith and Emily Yae Won (Greek Lessons); Emily Yae Won and Paige Aniyah Morris (We Do Not Part). Bora Chung: Anton Hur (Cursed Bunny, and her other works). Kim Young-ha: Krys Lee (the Diary of a Murderer collection); the article names no translator for other English editions.

Three sentences: (1) The articles show prizes aimed at translated books: the Man Asian Literary Prize, the International Booker and the National Book Award for Translated Literature. (2) The Literature Translation Institute of Korea funds a sample translation first and the rest once the translator and author sign with an international publisher (since 2014). (3) [My own reading, not stated in the sources] Because translations pass through prizes, grants and a few publishers, the books that reach readers abroad are a small, partly shaped selection.
