2014 translations from the: Arabic

       Always good to see language-specific lists of what's been recently translated into English, and at Arabic Literature (in English) The 40+ Modern Arabic Literary Works Published in English Translation in 2014 are listed.
       (The list differs some from the Translation Database at Three Percent (which is also the pool of titles from which the Best Translated Book Award is selected), the latter being restricted to US-published/distributed titles -- and it looks like it should differ a bit more: the Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Publishing volumes, for example, look like they're only slated for 2015 release in the US (and I haven't seen them -- indeed I've only seen a third of the novels listed at Arabic Literature (in English)).
       A pretty decent selection -- though it's a bit disappointing there apparently isn't more non-fiction being translated. (I wonder why that is.)

       As a bonus, Arabic Literature (in English) also offers Seven New Books to Look for in Early 2015, all also translated from the Arabic.
