What Hacker News says

   For an interesting mix of tenses, I suggest "The Vegetarian" by Han Kang. It has two chapters in the past tense and one in the present tense, all by different narrators.

   Deborah Smith translated her biggest works (The Vegetarian & Human Acts). In fact, her translation arguably single-handedly led to Han Kang winning the Man Booker International Prize in 2016, which then made her popular outside Korea. The translations have been quite popular, but a bit controversial as well[0].
