Bruce Humes (Translator)
Keen to experience socialism with Chinese characteristics back in the 1980s, Bruce Humes first took a detour to Taipei and Hong Kong but went on to reside in Shanghai, Kunming and Shenzhen. He has translated three contemporary novels from the Chinese- The Last Quarter of the Moon (Chi Zijian), Shanghai Baby (Wei Hui), and Confessions of a Jade Lord (Alat Asem). Most recently he has concentrated on Tibetan, Uyghur and Mongol stories.

Reviews

Zijian has an extraordinary gift for storytelling and her steely narrator is a true heroine, surviving war and encroaching modernity. Simply magnificent
