"An act of translation is always an act of betrayal." This idea, and the questions it inspires, are central to author Rebecca or RF Kuang's 2022 novel, Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution. As the title promises, the book also explores the nature of revolution and the "necessity of violence," in addition to those complex questions surrounding the art of translation. This hour, we revisit our conversation with the author, which was focused on the award-winning book, during an event organized by local bookseller RJ Julia. On the importance of student revolutions, Kuang reflects, "The student's weakness is precisely his allure. The fact that the student is so naïve and doesn't have the jadedness of somebody who's been through more; the fact that students are dreamers, that they are romantic idealists; that kind of hope, that kind of ability to imagine an alternate future is beautiful and it matters and I hope we keep seeing that." GUESTS: RF or Rebecca Kuang: Award-winning author of the Poppy War trilogy, Babel: An Arcane History, Yellowface, and Katabasis (forthcoming). She has an MPhil in Chinese Studies from Cambridge and an MSc in Contemporary Chinese Studies from Oxford; she is now pursuing a PhD in East Asian Languages and Literatures at Yale.

Rebecca F. Kuang erregte vor einigen Jahren mit ihrer Trilogie Im Zeichen der Mohnblume (The Poppy War) international Aufsehen. Und ihr neues Buch Babel wurde ebenso ein Bestseller. Wir befinden uns in einer Alternativwelt im frühen 19. Jahrhundert in England. In Oxford wird daran geforscht, Silber eine geradezu magische Macht zu entlocken, indem ein Barren mit Wortpaaren geprägt wird. Welche Wortpaare funktionieren und welche Wirkung sie haben, daran forschen im Turm "Babel" viele Leute, und je mehr Sprachkenntnisse sie mitbringen, desto besser. Auf diese Weise ist England tatsächlich ein Empire. Der junge Robin Swift wird aus China nach Oxford gebracht, und sein Ziehvater Professor Lovell sieht in ihm großes Potenzial. Doch dann gerät Robin in eine Bande von Revolutionären, die die Macht von Babel brechen will ... Auf dieses Buch bekommt ihr diesmal zwei unterschiedliche Perspektiven. Und wer mehr über "Babel" erfahren möchte - zeitgleich erscheint für Abonntent*innen die Bonusfolge, in der Falko mit Übersetzerin Heide Franck über das Buch spricht. Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge!

KUANG" (Hördauer 12 Minuten) Was, wenn der größte schriftstellerische Erfolg der Laufbahn gar nicht aus der eigenen Feder stammt? Rebecca F. Kuang lässt in ihrem neuen Roman Yellowface eine junge Autorin am Literaturbetrieb verzweifeln, ehe sie in den Besitz eines Manuskripts gelangt, das ihr den großen Durchbruch beschert.

Kaum ein Buch erwartet die deutschsprachige BookTok-Community wohl mehr: „Yellowface“. Die zeitgeistige Lektüre lohnt aber auch für Nicht-BookToker, findet Nina Wolf. Aus dem Amerikanischen von Jasmin Humburg Eichborn Verlag, 383 Seiten, 24 Euro ISBN 978-3-8479-0162-4

Rebecca F. Kuang just might change the way you think about fantasy and science fiction. Known for her best-selling books Babel and The Poppy War trilogy, Kuang combines a unique blend of historical richness and imaginative storytelling. At just 27, she's already published five novels, and her compulsion to write has not abated even as she's pursued advanced degrees at Oxford, Cambridge, and now Yale. Her latest book, Yellowface, was one of Tyler's favorites in 2023. She sat down with Tyler to discuss Chinese science-fiction, which work of fantasy she hopes will still be read in fifty years, which novels use footnotes well, how she'd change book publishing, what she enjoys about book tours, what to make of which Chinese fiction is read in the West, the differences between the three volumes of The Three Body Problem, what surprised her on her recent Taiwan trip, why novels are rarely co-authored, how debate influences her writing, how she'll balance writing fiction with her academic pursuits, where she'll travel next, and more.

How did we end up here? The humans before me had the same physiological traits as I did, yet still we had no means of communicating with one another. I couldn't understand what they were saying. Words and phrases spilled from their mouths, a torrent of sounds bleeding into one another, syllables pouring out in a drum roll, unending and uninterrupted. | © 2023 by Regina Kanyu Wang.

Jo & Adam draw this year's "Smith & Waugh Big Satirical Summer Read" to a close with a deep dive into the novel everyone is reading, Rebecca F. Kuang's Yellowface. What is it actually a satire of? How is the satire working? And to what extent is satire an appropriate tool for interrogating questions about race and representation in contemporary culture? Adam & Jo also dissect some of the more extreme responses to the novel, especially on TikTok. Elsewhere in the episode they also pay tribute to Look Around You, the excellent Robert Popper satire currently available on iPlayer, and discuss some of the controversy surrounding this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Adam also shares a disturbing experience he had recently where a person he was dating turned out to be a Cheetah.

In a desperate bid to amass quantifiable impact for their research... Adam and Jo talk about the satire they've identified in their recent projects, both of which involve the relationship between literature and medicine. From 'living barometers' to 'fits of apoplectic rage', it seems when it comes to discussions of wellness and weather, satire is never far away. They also take a deep dive into the world of Winnie the Pooh to answer a recent listener question about the possible statues of Eeyore as a Juvenalian satirist. Also featuring the launch of the Smith & Waugh Satirical Summer Read 2023, in which you are all invited to join us in reading Rebecca F Kuang's brand new satirical novel, "Yellowface."

Our July featured read is Yellowface by Rebecca F. Kuang. Enjoy our spoiler free chat!

Rebecca F. Kuang shot to #1 on the New York Times bestsellers list with her previous novels Babel and the Poppy War Trilogy. She joined the Vancouver Writers Fest, Massy Books, and SFU Woodward's Cultural Programs with her new literary thriller, Yellowface—a timely and cutting satire that investigates racism in the publishing industry and beyond. She speaks here with Writers' Trust of Canada Rising Star Eddy Boudel Tan about transparency in publishing; the nuances of cultural identity and appropriation; Asian representation and stories; and her perspective on Yellowface's messy main character.

Full episode. I interview Nikki Smith about her latest book “The Beach Party” and interview Jodi Taylor about her latest book “The Good, The Bad & The History”. I also review “Yellowface” by Rebecca F Kuang, “A Place To Buy Strangers' by Mark Dawson and “The Couple At No.9” by Claire Douglas. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Speculative fiction superstar Rebecca F. Kuang is the author behind the #1 New York Times bestselling The Poppy War trilogy. Described by Publishers Weekly as “an ambitious fantasy reimagining of Asian history populated by martial artists, philosopher-generals, and gods,” Kuang's early masterwork spans three installments: The Poppy War, The Dragon Republic, and The Burning God.

There is no stopping Rebecca Kuang. With the Poppy War trilogy already under her belt and the fantastic success of Waterstones Book of the Year nominee Babel, she has reinvented herself once again this year with Yellowface, a literary thriller that satirises the very industry she's involved in, publishing and bookselling. As someone who has worked in both of those industries myself, not to mention the world of social media for 15 years, I couldn't wait to read this one and was even more excited to sit down and talk with Rebecca about her approach to writing, her insights from the industry, and where she might take readers next.

Liebe Leserinnen und Leser,vor knapp 2 Wochen ist der im letzten Jahr im englischen Original erschienene Roman von Rebecca F. Kuang mit vielen Vorschusslorbeeren nun auf deutsch erschienen. Flankiert von einer riesigen Marketingkampagne des Eichborn Verlags, mit der comichaften Darstellung der 4 Hauptcharaktere, die die Jüngeren abholen soll und dem Lob Denis Schecks, der das Buch als "Das Aufregendste im Fantasy Genre seit Harry Potter" bezeichnet.Nun habe ich die Aufregung um Harry Potter nicht nachvollziehen können (schon heute kann man den Streit in der Diskussion mit dem Rest des Studio B Kollektivs erahnen), aber der für mich also hinkende Vergleich ist Wurst, denn: Lest das Werk, es ist überraschend, voller Dramatik, Magie und Spannung.Viele Dinge sind dem Deutschen suspekt, angefangen von ihm unbekannten Gewürzen und Speisen bis hin zu eigentlich allem, was er nicht kennt. Vielleicht ist dies der Grund, warum der Untertitel des heute vorgestellten Werkes - "Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution" - es nicht auf den Buchdeckel der deutschen Ausgabe geschafft hat. Ansonsten ist die deutsche Übersetzung aber sehr gut, und das Buch ja sowieso, weshalb ich es gleich 3x gelesen habe. Im Original nach dem Erscheinen, dann jetzt nochmal (weil mein Gedächtnis auch nicht mehr ist, was es noch nie war) und interessehalber noch die 2. Hälfte des Werkes auf deutsch.An den Untertitel hat sich aber auch die spanische Ausgabe nicht rangetraut, sondern eher verschämt "una historia arcana" unter "Babel" gesetzt.Gut, Babel also, trotz der sehr knappen Beschreibung in der Bibel, doch eine der bekanntesten Stories des Alten Testaments: ein Volk schickte sich an, einen Turm bis in den Himmel zu bauen. Gott fand das nicht dufte (sprich, hatte Angst um seine Macht, denn danach wäre nichts dem Menschen unerreichbar) und schickte eine Sprachverwirrung, aufgrund derer der Turmbau wegen Verständnisschwierigkeiten zum Erliegen kam und verstreute die Menschen auf der ganzen Welt.In der alternativen Welt, die uns Rebecca F. Kuang zaubert, existiert der Turm, Babel genannt, und zwar inmitten von Oxford. Er ist das höchste und mächtigste Gebäude, denn in ihm werden Silberbarren mit Aufschriften versehen. Dabei handelt es sich um Wortpaare aus unterschiedlichen Sprachen, die sich ähneln, aber durch die Bedeutungsänderung, die jede Übersetzung mit sich bringt, bestimmte Effekte hervorrufen können: Kutschen werden schneller, Lichter strahlen heller, Maschinen funktionieren besser und: Kugeln und Pistolen aus Kanonen treffen genauer. All dies bringt dem British Empire, dessen Königin Victoria heißt (auch sonst ist die alternative Welt “Babels” wenig von ihrem historischen Original Englands im Jahre 1830 entfernt) enorme Vorteile, nämlich die Sicherung ihres Territoriums und ihrer gewaltvollen Herrschaft. Gebraucht wird dafür - richtig - Silber.Und Übersetzer: Eines der Probleme mit den Wortpaaren auf den Silberbarren besteht darin, dass sie weniger wirken, je bekannter die beiden Worte sind, sprich: in dem sich die englische Sprache durch die Unterwerfung der Welt ausbreitet, desto weniger potent ist sie. Deshalb werden Menschen gesucht, deren Muttersprache eine in der westlichen Welt wenig bekannte ist, und die sich gleichzeitig in Sprachen wie Latein und Altgriechisch zu Hause fühlen. Weil der Spracherwerb für Kinder einfacher ist, werden diese (sofern sie als geeignete Kandidaten befundet werden) geraubt und ausgebildet, um später in Babel zu arbeiten. Und hier beginnt das Dilemma: aus ärmlichen Verhältnissen zu großer Macht gelangt: ist es besser dankbar zu sein, am Tisch der Macht zu sitzen, “es geschafft zu haben”? Oder fordert die Erkenntnis, Teil eines zerstörerischen Systems zu sein, Widerstandshandlungen, Sabotage oder gar Revolution?Douglas Adams hat einmal eine Reihe von Regeln aufgestellt, wie man - je nach Altersgruppe - auf neue Technologien reagiert. “Alles, was in der Welt ist, wenn man geboren wird, ist normal und gewöhnlich und ein natürlicher Teil der Welt. Alles was erfunden wird, wenn man zwischen 15 und 35 ist, ist neu, aufregend und revolutionär und wahrscheinlich kann man eine Karriere damit starten. Alles was erfunden wird, nachdem man 35 ist, ist gegen den natürlichen Lauf der Dinge.” Ich glaube, dass dieses Bonmot auch für Wissen, Überzeugungen und die Akzeptanz neuer Forschungserkenntnisse gilt. Für die Älteren werden Welten in Frage gestellt, zu Kindheitsüberzeugungen konträre Ansichten sollten auf einmal wahr sein, das ist sicherlich hart. Für die Jüngeren wird es selbstverständlich sein, Kolonialismus und die Folgen, ob lokal oder global, mitzudenken.Und so ist “Babel” ein Werk für jüngere Leserinnen und alte Hasen, die offen sind.“Babel” kann dazu beitragen, Erkenntnisse über die Auswirkungen von Kolonialismus und dessen Brutalität zu etablieren. Auch das implizite Einverständnis, wenn man auf der Sonnenseite steht und die intergenerationellen Auswirkungen systematischer Rassismus- und Patriarchatserfahrungen werden verständlich. Für die älteren Leser hält “Babel” Überraschungen bereit. In einer Vielzahl von Fußnoten, aber auch direkt in der fantastischen Welt warten Erkenntnisse und ein besseres Verstehen unserer Welt.Dabei ist die Alternativgeschichte, die Rebecca F. Kuang erschaffen hat, nicht so weit von der uns bekannten Historie entfernt. Mag es keine Silberwerker geben, die mithilfe von Übersetzungen Dinge und Handlungen erfolgreicher gestalten können, so ist doch die Macht und Magie der Worte auch in unserer Welt präsent und präsentiert den Zusammenhang zwischen Sprache und Macht: Wie sprechen die, die über andere herrschen? Was für Folgen hat diese Sprache? Konkrete Beispiele bedarf es hier vielleicht nicht, ich gehe davon aus, dass die Verschiebung des Diskurses nach rechts, was wann wo und wie gesagt werden kann, in den letzten Jahren offensichtlich geworden ist. Gleichzeitig ist es einfacher geworden, sich Gehör zu verschaffen bzw. Mittel und Wege zu finden, seine Überzeugungen zu präsentieren, wenn man nicht nur den Weg über die etablierten Wege der Papierzeitungen oder Fernsehsender kennt.Ist Gewalt notwendig, um eine Revolution herbeizuführen? Lest “Babel”, ihr werdet es herausfinden.Und so kam diese Rezension aus, ohne auch nur die 4 Hauptheld*innen des Werkes - Robin, Ramy, Victoire und Letty - überhaupt eingeführt zu haben, denn: Gönnt euch das Werk!

Here & Now's Kalyani Saxena reviews the year in books, starting with fiction and non-fiction recommendations from "The Stacks" host Traci Thomas. Then, Saxena talks with author Rebecca F. Kuang speak about her book "Babel: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution," which came out earlier this year. And, to all the men who struggle with talking about sex and pleasure in a meaningful way, have you tried reading romance novels? We explore why reading romance might just be at the heart of what men need.

Rebecca F. Kuang is a multi-award winning Best Selling Author and an accomplished scholar and academic. Her epic fantasy trilogy, The Poppy War, is a beautiful, brutal, story that combines the history of 20th-century China with a universe of monsters, magic, and gods. It is a heartbreaking and powerful piece of art, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in things like Game of Thrones and other fantasy works.Her latest book, Babel, or The Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution, is a number one New York Times best seller. I think it's safe to say the book is a masterpiece. It explores an alternative history of academia centered at Oxford University in a magical version of London where literary translation is magical. The book's central character, Robin Swift, is orphaned by cholera in Canton and is brought from China to London by a mysterious professor. We come to discover the truth of the Royal Institution of Translation alongside Robin, and in the process, we are given an unflinching look at the oppressive, colonial, racist ideology that allowed this institution to come into being.What the best science fiction and fantasy do so well is make us look long and hard at our own world. Babel does so without sacrificing the story, which is filled with moments of sweetness and love and tenderness, and also moments of violence and loss and brutality. In our conversation, Rebecca and I explore what it is to translate, what it is to speak, what it is to have an identity and a sense of place or home, and what it is to lose that. Rebecca, ever the scholar and storyteller, leads us into that territory in a beautiful way. Connect with Rebecca:instagram.com/kuangrftwitter.com/kuangrfrfkuang.comBabel, or The Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution by R.F.
