When I heard that the 2017 World Fantasy Award winners had been announced, I excitedly glanced through the list, only to be disappointed when I found absolutely no authors who write in a language other than English. Then I became curious and combed through the past World Fantasy Awards, and found that, throughout its history, non-Anglophone authors are only honored a handful of times. Makes me wonder why it’s called the World<\/em> Fantasy Award. Anyway, I picked out all of the authors of SF in translation and made a list so you don’t have to go combing through the award lists yourself.
