This is Diao Dou's first appearance in English. Diao Dou is wildly regarded as one of China’s leading satirists, praised for his refusal to follow any of the numerous literary trends that often dominate the Chinese literary scene - his work going between, and not exclusively, social realism to surrealist parody.</p>
<p class="p6"><span class="s1"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJckDAfOBow">Head to YouTube</a></span>, to hear the translator, Brendan O'Kane talk about the process of translating Chinese Literature, and specifically Diao Dou's work.</p>
