The Center for the Art of Translation promotes international literature and translation through the arts, education, and community outreach. 
The TWO LINES World Library features the most flavorful writing from around the globe. Each volume shines the spotlight on literature from a specific section of the map, or at a certain language or tradition. Guest editors, rooted and deeply schooled in their field, edit each book.
The TWO LINES World Library continues the work of TWO LINES, which has presented the best in international writing since 1994. Both the World Library and the annual anthology are dedicated to bringing the thoughts and rhythms of global literature to readers, and to celebrating the unsung work of the translator.
This year’s volume is New World/New Words: Recent Writing from the Americas, edited by Thomas Christensen, with an introduction by Gregory Rabassa.
