En nog meer shortlist-nieuws: de nominaties voor de Baifang Schell-prijs. Korte verhalen van Eileen Chang en Shuang Xuetao, twee romans van Fang Fang en het surrealisme van Can Xue. Eileen Chang is fantastisch, goed nieuws dat er meer van haar verhalen zijn vertaald. En de andere genomineerden zijn vast waardig gezelschap!

The great Chinese author #eileenchang wrote that the three most regrettable things in life are that 1) #Shad is so delicious but has many bones; 2) #begonias are beautiful but have no fragrance; and 3) Cao Xueqin’s late 18th century novel of manners Dream of the Red Chamber was superb, but unfinished. To that I’d like to add that #moleskine notebooks are lovely but the paper is not great for #fountainpens.
