As the first of its kind, it pioneers a new direction in the study of SFT and paves the way for further related research. It leads us into a real world where literature from various languages exists coevally and compatibly, instead of one of unquestioned Anglophone domination. I would definitely recommend it to all readers who are interested in speculative fiction from languages other than English.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":23,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12539"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12539"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12539\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16592,"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12539\/revisions\/16592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
