In light of Mo Yan’s recent Nobel win, the spotlight has turned to contemporary Chinese literature. But the barriers of language and culture that confront the non-Chinese reader are often daunting.
The editors of three literary journals – Asymptote,  Chutzpah! and Pathlight – come together to discuss their role mediating between non-Chinese readers and the latest crop of Chinese writers, specifically through presenting Chinese works in translation.
Join Asymptote, an online journal of literature from around the globe, as it prepares to celebrate its second anniversary with a launch event in Beijing.
