Join us for a conversation with two award-winning translators as they discuss the rewards and challenges of translating fiction and poetry from the Chinese-speaking world in the new millennium. World-renowned translator Howard Goldblatt has published over thirty works of Chinese fiction into English including Red Sorghum (Mo Yan), My Life as Emperor (Su Tong), Playing for Thrills (Wang Shuo), and Notes of a Desolate Man (Chu T’ien-wen). Andrea Lingenfelter, USF Kiriyama Fellow (2013-14), has translated Farewell My Concubine (Lilian Lee), Candy (Mian Mian), The Last Princess of Manchuria (Lilian Lee), The Changing Room (Zhai Yongming), and composed the subtitles for Chen Kaige’s 2006 film, Temptress Moon.
