Ep 59 - More Than One Child with Shen Yang and Nicky Harman
Manage episode 301030478 series 2487572
It is a long and painful process to see oneself clearly, as is the process of returning to one’s childhood.
In the fifty ninth episode of The Translated Chinese Fiction Podcast we are talking with someone who is More Than One Child (隐形小孩 / Yǐnxíng Xiǎohái), a woman as friendly as she is fearless: Shen Yang. She’s here on this episode, and so is her translator, friend-of-the-pod, and returnee guest Nicky Harman. The book is forthcoming from the excellent publisher Balestier Press.
