SUMMARY:Masters of Sleep Launch Party with Jianan Qian\, Alyssa Asquith & Na Zhong
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate the launch of Masters of Sleep and Other Stories! \nAccent Editions is delighted to celebrate the publication of Masters of Sleep and Other Stories by Zhu Yue. Please join translators Jianan Qian @jianan_qian and Alyssa Asquith @alyssajasquith \, along with editor Na Zhong @sweetmedicine_nz \, for an evening of conversation exploring Zhu Yue’s uncanny\, witty\, and unforgettable fiction. Together\, they will discuss the collaborative process of translation\, the book’s literary world\, and what it means to bring one of China’s most distinctive contemporary voices to English-language readers. The conversation will be followed by a Q&A and book signing. \nOriginally published in China in 2006\, Zhu’s stories take the reader on a mind-bending\, wildly imaginative journey where eccentric and magical characters embark on quests\, confront paradoxes\, travel to distant planets\, master esoteric arts\, fall in love\, and escape death. \nA gloriously innovative and versatile writer\, Zhu Yue playfully interrogates many so-called “Western” ideals and values: What is the value of invention if it has no practical use? How much of ourselves are we willing to sacrifice for wealth and greatness? And to what extent is a person’s physical existence a sufficient expression of their individuality? \nPoster: Jingyi He
