Title: AFTER MO YAN: THREE LITERARY EDITORS ON THE LATEST CROP OF
SINOPHONE WRITERS

Date: Thursday 17th January
Location: The Bookworm, Beijing, China.
Time: 19:30-21:30

Brief Description: In light of Mo Yan’s recent Nobel win, the spotlight
has turned to contemporary Chinese literature. But the barriers of
language and culture that confront the non-Chinese reader are often
daunting. The editors of three literary journals (Ou Ning, Chutzpah! ;
Alice Xin Liu, Pathlight, and Lee Yew Leong, Asymptote) come together to
discuss their mediating role between non-Chinese readers and the latest
crop of Chinese writers, specifically through presenting Chinese works in
translation.

The panel discussion will be moderated by Eric Abrahamsen (Paper
Republic), and followed by an audience Q&A.
