In this Cover to Cover podcast interview hosted by Emily Y. Wu, writer and translator Lin King talks about the nuances of Taiwanese and Japanese culture, and the process of translating Yáng Shuāng-zi’s novel Taiwan Travelogue (Graywolf Press, 2024), which won the 2024 National Book Award for Translated Literature and the 2026 International Booker Prize. “I feel like the food was, in some ways, the toughest part for me to translate,” says King.
