Sheng Keyi – The Girl Who Sold Phones

Sheng Keyi’s novel Northern Girls is currently in translation for publication in English next year probably. If you don’t know who Sheng Keyi is then you soon will. Here, however, is a short story by her that has been translated – The Girl Who Sold Phones. We just both happened to be in Melbourne at the Writers Festival where she spoke very well about her work and the travails of being a Chinese writer.
