Join us to celebrate Ká-sióng, a new series of chapbooks from Strangers Press, focusing on literature from Taiwan, edited by Jeremy Tiang. The short stories give us a range of insights into contemporary life in Taiwan, but the authors all step away from conventional thinking and consider the world from the point of view of indigenous people, women and others whose voices aren’t heard as often.
Our three translators, Jenna Tang, Lin King and Wen-Chi Li, will explore the themes emerging from these stories, and the challenge of bringing Taiwan literature to a wider readership. They will be in conversation with the author, translator and academic, Ta-Wei Chi.
In partnership with the British Centre for Literary Translation and UEA Publishing Project, and generously supported by the National Museum of Taiwan Literature, the Taipei Representative Office in the UK and the Taiwan Ministry of Culture.
