It is with great pride that we write to announce the publication of Renditions no. 100, a landmark that follows fifty full years of publishing our journal. That we have continued to play an important role in literary communication between the Chinese-speaking realm and the world of letters in English is testified to by the extensive collection of pieces we have assembled for this 300-page valedictory issue, which includes masterly translations of a playful anthropomorphic biography by Su Shi, a celebrated classical poem by Lu Xun, and contemporary song lyrics about a post-industrialist China by the rock band Omnipotent Youth Society. A full table of content can be found here.
Orders of the issue can be placed at our e-bookstore, where readers can also purchase past editions or access out-of-print issues for free. We thank you humbly for your support over the years, and we hope that you will continue to support the Renditions Books and Renditions Paperbacks series, with Robert E. Hegel’s superb translation of the late-Ming epic novel Forgotten Tales of the Sui to appear soon.
Sincerely,
Renditions editorial team
