(Free online Book Club) Sinoist Book Club Winter Season

[Sinoist]

Hello Chinese-Forum!
 

Hope you are all well (and "Hoppy" year the Rabbit), my name is Daniel, I'm a long time lurker on here, but figure I make a quick post about an upcoming bookclub event we have coming up.

 

I work for Sinoist Books, we specialise in the translation and publishing of Sinophone literature in the UK. to get an idea of our work, please see (https://sinoistbooks.com/catalogue/).
 

We run a monthly free online book club which involves conversations between translators and experts on some of the titles we've published. We have two events coming up in the Feb/Mar period which you might find interesting:

 

Shi Tiesheng’s My Travels in Ding Yi (我的丁一之旅)
23rd February (7:30pm GMT) 
With Professor Sarah Dauncey, whose research focuses on disability in China, and Chloe Starr, Associate Professor of Asian Christianity and theology.

 

Li Er’s Cherries on a Pomegranate Tree  (石榴树上接樱桃)
31st March (5pm GMT) 
With translator Dave Haysom

 

More details are in the link below!

The events are open to all, and we'd love to have you there, pervious knowledge of the books are NOT required!

 

Thanks!

Welcome and happy Rabbit year to you, Daniel! Nice to see you here. 

 

There was a "Book of the Month" subforum here for a time, but it seems to have died down now. The Sinoist book club is a great alternative to keep up with Chinese literature and discover new authors. It's great to meet the translators too. I especially enjoyed the Hedgehog Song (still reading it) and now I have a heap of Zhang Wei to read this year.
