I am very delighted to announce that we will be hosting monthly pieces on this site from none other than David Jacobson.

Guest Post – Beyond 3 Percent: Translated Children’s Literature in the U.S.

You may find his other credentials at the end of his piece. And so, without further ado, take it away David! In 2007, translator Esther Allen published an essay in the PEN Club International report To Be Translated or Not, citing data that translations amounted to a paltry 3% of new books published in the United States.
