Service95 Book Club: Translated Fiction Showcase

Cross borders with some of today’s finest fiction in translation, read by the authors themselves at a showcase of stories that feel necessary right now. Hear from authors Nelio Biedermann, Gaël Faye, Intan Paramaditha and Samanta Schweblin in this live reading showcase and discussion, moderated by Hope Ndaba. Much of the most vital fiction written today isn’t written in English. And yet it is finding a hungry audience in the English-speaking world. In the UK, sales of translated fiction increased by 31% from 2016 to 2025, with more than half of all translated fiction being bought by people under the age of 35. Discover voices that cross borders, languages and forms in this celebration of translated fiction, bringing together authors from Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa. Founded by Dua Lipa, the Service95 Book Club is a space to enjoy all things literary, including Dua’s hand-picked Monthly Reads and her exclusive author interviews, plus new book trends, recommendations from the Service95 team and more ways for you to read the world differently.
