Wikipedia
Deborah Smith (born 15 December 1987) is a British translator of Korean fiction. She translated The Vegetarian by Korean author Han Kang, for which she and the author were co-winners of the Man Booker International Prize in 2016.
After graduating from the University of Cambridge, Smith began learning Korean in 2009, after discovering that there were few English translations of Korean literature. In 2015, Smith founded Tilted Axis Press, a non-profit publishing house devoted to books that "might not otherwise make it into English." She has been a research fellow at SOAS.
In June 2018 Smith was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in its "40 Under 40" initiative.
