These events will be recorded and streamed, so whether you join in person, or online, we hope you enjoy the discussions surrounding translation, female writers and Tie Ning’s coming-of-age novella.

Julia Lovell has praised the author, stating in The Guardian that ‘Tie Ning’s command of psychological realism is practically Jamesian... She is an acute, sympathetic observer of Chinese society.’

Annelise Finegan, Academic Director and Clinical Associate Professor of Translation at NYU, has translated this novella into English for the first time.

First published in 1984, this novella remains a staple on literary courses today. Tie Ning eventually became the first female chair of the Chinese writer’s association , and her leadership saw modernisation and much needed diversification to its membership.
