The British literary quarterly Granta has published a new issue dedicated to Chinese writers, featuring familiar mainstays of contemporary literature and some fresh new voices. This week on Sinica, I chatted with Thomas Meaney, editor of Granta, about what's happening in the literary scene in China today and how this fantastically interesting issue came together.

‘I wrote the asinine words ‘liquor is literature' and ‘people who are strangers to liquor are incapable of talking about literature' when I was good and drunk, and you must not take them to heart.'In the ninety ninth episode of the Translated Chinese Fiction Podcast we're taking a lengthy holiday with Mo Yan in The Republic of Wine, so get your visa stamped and your baijiu in hand. This time there are two discussions. First, sober, with returnees Dylan Levi King and Michelle Deeter. Then, drunk with DLK and poet/translator Martin Winter. Listen all the way through, comrade, to hear two of us curse then proclaim our love for a prominent figure in the field.

MURAKAMI & MO YAN // POVTALK - I denne POVtalk har Mette Holm besøg i studiet af sin navnesøster Mette Holm, de to har parallelle forløb, læste antropologi samtidig og specialiserede sig i hhv. Japan og Kina, og siden blev de også venner. POVtalken handler især om Holm og Holms arbejde med hhv. den kinesiske forfatter, nobelprisvinderen Mo Yan og japanske Haruki Murakami. Sidstnævnte medvirker i Louisiana Litteraturfestival i denne uge. Produktion: Jan Eriksen Navnefællesskabet har ført til forviklinger og forvekslinger med forkerte navne på plakater og mere af samme skuffe for de to Mette Holm. Det har også ført til samarbejde om to af vor tids største forfattere, japanske Haruki Murakami og Mo Yan, der som eneste kineser, der lever i Kina har fået Nobels Litteraturpris. Den har Murakami endnu til gode. Mette Holm og Mette Holm kommer ind på fællestræk hos de to forfattere og deres forskelligheder og også på forfatternes fokus på det komplicerede forhold mellem Kina og Japan. Den ene Mette Holm er kendt og respekteret for at oversætte Murakami og andre japanske forfattere til dansk, fermt og med stor litterær nerve. POV's Mette Holm kendes først og fremmest for sin viden om Kina og de omkringliggende lande, som hun har rejst og arbejdet i samt berettet om i radio, TV, aviser, bøger, foredrag og på nettet i over 40 år.

On the previous episode, I went all the way to the beginning of Chinese literature. This episode, I explore a contemporary novel, Mo Yan's Red Sorghum. It won Mo Yan the Nobel Prize, it has been made into a famous movie, this novel has been very influential. Let's dive in!

Un torrente de fresca satisfacción emanó de su cuerpo mientras, con el rabillo del ojo, observó a la hija de Cuarto Tío, Jinju, que se encontraba de pie a no más de tres pasos de él. En cuanto Zhang Kou agarre su erhu para recitar el primer verso de su balada, la cogeré de la mano y se la apretaré, le apretaré hasta el último dedo. Ese rostro, redondo como un girasol de pétalos dorados, me ha roto el corazón. Incluso sus orejas son doradas. Tal vez no sea muy alta, pero es fuerte como la cría de un buey. No puedo esperar más tiempo, puesto que ya ha cumplido los veinte. El calor que emana de su cuerpo me está quemando. El arte esta en todos lados... De "Las Baladas del ajo" de Mo Yan

October 26, 2022 The Morning Rush Hosted by: Chico, Hazel, & Markki

Today we conclude our series Life under Communism by taking a second look at all three novels, The Passport, Satantango, and The Garlic Ballads. We talk about whether there are any takeaways about Communism for us here, or whether that's even something that should be sought from realist fiction. We also discuss whether these realist novels change how we feel about speculative fiction dealing with Communism or adjacent ideas (Vagabonds, The Dispossessed, Parable of the Sower), and if all those books belong under the same topical genre umbrella as the books we just read. Finally, we explore what these books tell us about the future of Communism in their respective countries. For this series, we discussed Life Under Communism with Herta Muller's The Passport Aug 12-26, László Krasznahorkai's Satantango Sept 2-16, and Mo Yan's The Garlic Ballads Sept 23 - Oct 7.

For our last week with Mo Yan's The Garlic Ballads, we question whether the writer deserves the cold treatment he gets from others in the literary community and beyond. Is he a CCP stooge, or is there more to his writing? Can his crude language be a form of dissent? And what's up with the young officer Zheng Changinian? For this series we will be discussing Life Under Communism with Herta Muller's The Passport Aug 12-26, László Krasznahorkai's Satantango Sept 2-16, and Mo Yan's The Garlic Ballads Sept 23 - Oct 7.

In our second look at Mo Yan's The Garlic Ballads we examine the complicated publication history of this novel: bannings, unbannings, swapped chapters, and a dubious quotation delivered by the ghost of Stalin in Mo Yan's dreams. If the novel has changed this much, which version do we trust? If Mo Yan contradicts himself this much can we trust him, or he just the victim of his American publisher? For this series we will be discussing Life Under Communism with Herta Muller's The Passport Aug 12-26, László Krasznahorkai's Satantango Sept 2-16, and Mo Yan's The Garlic Ballads Sept 23 - Oct 7.

This week, we review Mo Yan's novel The Garlic Ballads.  Mo's work is intertwined with the politics of his country but we do our best to focus on the book itself (the political discussion will come in future episodes).  We also try to determine why we often feel disappointed by Chinese fiction, and James adds another entry to his collection of surprising literary awards. For this series we will be discussing Life Under Communism with Herta Muller's The Passport Aug 12-26, László Krasznahorkai's Satantango Sept 2-16, and Mo Yan's The Garlic Ballads Sept 23 - Oct 7.

László Krasznahorkai's Satantango is a book with a distinct, challenging style that can annoy some readers, so why is it written that way? Join us as we try to solve that mystery, discuss whether novelists need to follow rules, which styles can be reused, and how this challenging novel was adapted into an equally challenging film. For this series, Life Under Communism, we will read and discuss Herta Muller's The Passport Aug 12-26, László Krasznahorkai's Satantango Sept 2-16, and Mo Yan's The Garlic Ballads Sept 23 - Oct 7.

Follow us to get updates on upcoming episodes!

We're back with more of László Krasznahorkai's grim world in Satantango.  We keep the giggles going a little before delving into whether László offers us any hope in the novel and whether this book really is devoid of politics. We also discuss the allegorical plight of the characters and whether there's something angelic or demonic going on. Is Hungary in Purgatory? Aren't we all? For this series we will be reading and discussing Life Under Communism with Herta Muller's The Passport Aug 12-26, László Krasznahorkai's Satantango Sept 2-16, and Mo Yan's The Garlic Ballads Sept 23 - Oct 7.

This week we shine a light onto the bleak world of László Krasznahorkai with a review of his prize-winning debut novel Satantango.  We discuss whether or not the plot is important to this book and whether the European literati is more intelligent than its American counterpart.  Also, James is befuddled by another encounter with one of the more confusing literary awards this podcast has ever come across.  Warning: this is a giggly episode, because of course it is. For this series we will be reading and discussing Life Under Communism with Herta Muller's The Passport Aug 12-26, László Krasznahorkai's Satantango Sept 2-16, and Mo Yan's The Garlic Ballads Sept 23 - Oct 7.

John and Pu Wang, a Brandeis professor of Chinese literature, spoke with science-fiction genius Cixin Liu back in 2019. His most celebrated works include The Three Body Problem, The Dark Forest, and Death's End. When he visited Brandeis to receive an honorary degree, Liu paid a visit to the RTB lair to record this interview. Liu spoke in Chinese and Pu translated his remarks in this English version of the interview (the original Chinese conversation is at 刘慈欣访谈中文版 Episode 14c). Mr. Liu, flanked by John and Pu (photo: Claire Ogden) They discuss the evolution of Mr. Liu's science fiction fandom, and the powerful influence of Leo Tolstoy on Mr. Liu's work, which leads to a consideration of realism and its relationship to science fiction. Science fiction is also compared and contrasted with myth, mathematics, and technology. Lastly, they consider translation, and the special capacity that science fiction has to emerge through the translation process relatively unscathed. This is a testament to science fiction's taking as its subject the affairs of the whole human community–compared to the valuable but distinctly Chinese concerns of Mo Yan, or the distinctly Russian concerns of Tolstoy. Discussed in This Episode: Cixin Liu, The Three Body Problem, The Dark Forest, and Death's End Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace Stanley Kubrick (dir.), 2001: A Space Odyssey E.M.

durée : 00:58:54 - Entendez-vous l'éco ? - par : Tiphaine de Rocquigny - Grâce à l'œuvre de Mo Yan, lauréat du prix Nobel de littérature en 2012, nous découvrons les transformations profondes qui ont eu lieu dans la ruralité chinoise entre la réforme agraire lancée par Mao en 1950 à la libéralisation de la production agricole des années 1980. - invités : Jean-Philippe Béja sinologue, politologue, directeur de recherche émérite au CNRS et chercheur au Centre d'études et de recherches internationales (CERI/Sciences Po).; Chantal Chen-Andro maître de conférence honoraire de l'université Paris 7-Diderot et membre de l'équipe de recherche de CRCAO (Centre de recherche sur les civilisations d'Asie orientale)

Take an illuminating literary voyage around the globe, without any Covid restrictions to hamper your travels, using classic and modern works that are in conversation with one another and with the world around them. David Damrosch explores how our idea of the world has been shaped by 80 exceptional books, following an itinerary from London to Venice, Tehran and points beyond, via authors from Woolf and Dante to Nobel Prize–winners Orhan Pamuk, Wole Soyinka, Mo Yan, and Olga Tokarczuk. To chart the expansive landscape of world literature today, Damrosch explores how writers live in two very different worlds: the world of their personal experience and the world of books that have enabled great writers to give shape and meaning to their lives. In his literary cartography, Damrosch includes compelling contemporary works as well as perennial classics, hard-bitten crime fiction as well as haunting works of fantasy, and the formative tales that introduce us as children to the world we're entering. Taken together, these 80 books offer us fresh perspectives on enduring problems, from the social consequences of epidemics to the rising inequality that Thomas More designed Utopia to combat, as well as the patriarchal structures against which many heroines have to struggle—from the work of Murasaki Shikibu a millennium ago to Margaret Atwood today. NOTES MLF: Humanities This program is part of our Good Lit series, underwritten by the Bernard Osher Foundation. SPEAKERS David Damrosch Ernest Bernbaum Professor of Comparative Literature, and Chair of Comparative Literature Department, Harvard University; Director, Harvard's Institute for World Literature; Author, Around the World in 80 Books George Hammond Author, Conversations With Socrates In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are currently hosting all of our live programming via YouTube live stream.
