‘This cartoon will never end' In the seventy third episode of The Translated Chinese Fiction Podcast, Eero Suoranta and I are saying Farewell, Doraemon (再见，哆啦A梦 / zàijiàn, duōlaAmèng). This is the second time a story by A Que has appeared on the show, and I feel that I now know the writer's soul: tender in spirit, thoughtful in action, of limpid and eerie atmosphere, and shy about everything except postmodern intertextual showmanship. Pass with us through a loop in time hidden in a lonely river, to drown in nostalgia (from the Greek nostos ‘return home' + algos ‘pain'). - // NEWS ITEMS // READ: a review of Zhang Yueran's Cocoon, tr.

Today, we are looking at a science fiction short story, translated in Ken Liu's excellent collection Invisible Planets. It is by Xia Jia, who is both a science fiction writer and a scholar of Chinese science fiction. Her story, Hundred Ghosts Parade, is a fascinating look at tradition, change and Chinese culture. 

Today Pip talks about Life's Edge: The search for what it means to be alive by Carl Zimmer and Goodnight, Melancholy' by Xia Jia from Broken Stars: Sixteen Stories from the New Frontiers of Chinese Science Fiction edited and translated by Ken Liu

With her new short story anthology, Entanglements: Tomorrow's Lovers, Families, and Friends (MIT Press), editor Sheila Williams brings together a panoply of voices to explore how technology and scientific advances have on the deepest human relationships. We talk about Sheila's nearly 40 years editing science fiction stories at Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, how she manages to balance new and diverse voices with a foundation of SF's history, how she copes with receiving ~800 stories a month (while only being able to buy 5-6), and technology's greater role in day-to-day life and what that means for writers' and readers' imagination and expectations. We also get into her author freakouts (like going blank when she met Samuel R. Delany many years ago), how her philosophy background helps her as an editor, missing cons and festivals, the challenge of editing an author in translation (in this case Xia Jia), and more.

'The summer isn't over yet. There are so many fun things to do.' this is episode 6 of 7 in our Chinese Science Fiction Season In the twenty second episode of The Translated Chinese Fiction Podcast, we are looking at Xia Jia's A Summer Beyond Your Reach (你无法抵达的夏天/nǐ wúfǎ dǐdá de xiàtiān) Xia Jia herself joins me via Skype from California to talk about her stories. French culture comes up three times in this episode. I really didn't see that coming. Xia Jia's stories do fuse deep thought with deep feeling, which I suppose does sound a bit French. Anyway! It's a very fun episode, so have a listen.

In episode 3, “Youth and Childhood”, Meri Fatin chairs a panel consisting of three authors who write for and about children: Cleverman creator Ryan Griffen, Western Australian YA author Dianne Touchell, and Chinese scifi writer Xia Jia. The panel discuss writing from the perspective of the child; treating child protagonists with the seriousness they deserve, and young audiences with the respect that is their right; what this means from an indigenous perspective; and how trauma can act as the doorway to empathy. The four episodes in this series were recorded in October, 2017, at Creative Conversations: Looking Forward/Looking Back. This public event was held at the Esplanade Hotel in Fremantle, Western Australia. Over the course of the day four panels discussed problems of positioning, distance and perspective in relation to the past and the future. Proceedings on the day were recorded by David Le May from ABC Radio National. Music by Patrick Liddell and Matthew Liam Nicholson.

In this first episode, presented by Meri Fatin, Xia Jia, Elizabeth Tan and Matthew Chrulew discuss “The Future”, focussing on science fiction; the subgenre of porridge scifi; the concept of extinction; the human, nonhuman, and posthuman; and the idea of the future having already arrived. The four episodes in this series were recorded in October, 2017, at Creative Conversations: Looking Forward/Looking Back.

Bask in Basque beef stew with Xia Jia as we discuss how reading science fiction gave her the courage to take risks; what it means when she says she writes not hard SF, nor soft SF, nor slipstream, nor cyberpunk, but “porridge sci-fi;” why Ray Bradbury matters so much to her; the challenges of writing in Chinese, writing in English, and translating from one language to the other; our mutual love for Italo Calvino's If on a Winter's Night a Traveler; how The Three-Body Problem changed the perceptions of science fiction in China, why she has faith she'll eventually get to Mars, and more.
