Science Fiction in Translation with Regina Kanyu Wang and Emily Jin

In this episode we discuss the new generation of Chinese science fiction with two of the genre's most brilliant translators, editors, writers and researchers. They both played a key role in The Way Spring Arrives and Other Stories, an anthology of science fiction written by Chinese women and non-binary writers that aims to overwrite stereotypes about who Chinese science fiction writers are and what they write about. Regina is a science fiction writer who works for the Co-Futures project at the University of Oslo and Emily is a writer and translator doing a PhD at Yale in East Asian Languages and Literature.
