This March we will be holding our second Book Review Network residential weekend, at Weetwood Hall in Leeds. This two-day event will be an opportunity for members of our Writing Chinese Book Review Network to meet featured authors and translators and discuss their work.
Over the course of the weekend there will be author and translator talks, and informal sessions devoted to discussion of featured books, as well as to different aspects of fiction and translation.
Our four featured books are:
The Chilli Bean Paste Clan, by Yan Ge, translated by Nicky Harman (Balestier Press)
Young Babylon, by Lu Nei, translated by Poppy Toland (Amazon Crossing)
Cantonese Love Stories, by Dung Ka-cheung, translated by Bonnie S. McDougall and Anders Hansson (Penguin)
Unrest, by Yeng Pway Ngon, translated by Jeremy Tiang (Balestier Press)
And we’re delighted that two of the authors and three translators will be joining us:
Yan Ge 颜歌, author of The Chilli Bean Paste Clan and other work.
Nicky Harman, translator of Yan Ge’s The Chilli Bean Paste Clan,Dorothy Tse’sSnow and Shadow, and many more.
