An
interview with Howard Goldblatt on translating from Chinese to English has made me think we need a thread on Chinese Literature.
It's not something I've read too much of: namely Bi Feiyu's
The Moon Opera and Eileen Chang's
Lust, Caution. And Ma Jian's
Stick Out Your Tongue, the text which was, while not critical of Tibet, certainly less idealistic about it.
Of course China has a Nobel Prize winner in Gao Xingjian, too, even if he lives in France these days. (And I don't think too much of his work has been translated.
Soul Mountain springs to mind, though.)
So, this thread is for all snippets and the like on the subject of Chinese literature.
