Ep 47 - Ma Jian and Beijing Coma with Ronald Torrance
Manage episode 284221076 series 2487572
When you've stared at the past for so long that time dissolves, you'll be able to wake from your slumber
In the forty seventh episode of The Translated Chinese Fiction Podcast we are falling into Beijing Coma (肉之土 / Ròu Zhī Tǔ). Avid Ma Jian reader Ronald Torrance is here to guide me from perimeter to epicentre of this colossal novel, and the weighty events it reckons with. Even without politics, stakes are high here: life/death, time/memory, flesh/history, and the intimate bonds that can exist between translators and writers.
