Unknown Author

4.9/5 (16780 ratings)

Description:Short story available to read online at Paper Republic and The Guardian by Chen Xue and Josh Stenberg (translation) for Translation Tuesdays by Asymptote, part of the Guardian Books Network.A transgender woman and man consider their bodies one quiet, warm night, in this short story exploring physicality and beauty.Note from the translator:There are works that I feel like translating because of their perspective and politics, and others where it is the language or the narrative that attracts me. In Chen Xue's best work, and I think Venus is an example, she combines these two qualities. Acid, tender, provocative, realistic, fanciful--she has a real arsenal of literary moods and weapons. Venus did not get published in a couple of literary translation journals, specifically (I was told informally) because of its transgender perspective. While thanking Paper Republic for including it here, I call shenanigans. Anybody who values the transmission of Chinese-language literature in the English-speaking world ought to celebrate rather than suppress the diversity of Sinophone literatures. ---Josh StenbergWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
