Multilingual writers and readers, how do you feel about glossaries at the front of a book? I saw a novel yesterday that had a glossary with the definition of 'hummus' in it and my spirit fled my body
I explain very little in my work. You'll either get it from context, or you won't, and if you don't, you can Google it, and maybe it won't be there. Maybe you'll have to live with missing out on that exchange. You'll be fine.
This is a conversation I've been having with my editors and publisher as I write my novel lol. There will be no glossary in my book, not at the front, middle, or back.
