This October, the Asian American Writers’ Workshop will convene a bilingual virtual celebration of Zhang Yueran‘s novel Cocoon, translated by Jeremy Tiang. We’ll be joined by both the author and translator, as well as artist and author Jade Song, for readings from the book in Chinese and English, and a conversation with one of the most exciting writers working in China today.
Cocoon, hailed by Publishers Weekly in a starred review as a “remarkable and tragic story of family and community” explores the scars left on the psyche of a generation following China’s Cultural Revolution, through the eyes of two young friends.
Please note that this will be a bilingual event, with participants responding in both Chinese and English.
