Ep 39 – Zhou Haohui and Death Notice with Zac Haluza

executioner: ᴇᴜᴍᴇɴɪᴅᴇs

In the thirty ninth episode of The Translated Chinese Fiction Podcast, we are looking at Death Notice (死亡通知单 / Sǐwáng Tōngzhī Dān), a fast paced crime thriller with a mean streak. Joining me to inspect the corpses is its polymath translator, Zac Haluza. Expect to be surprised by just how much this work was adapted in translation.
