In the one hundredth episode of the Translated Chinese Fiction Podcast, we are throwing a goodbye party! Friends, listeners, and past guests joined me for a little reminiscing and musing. I drank precisely one beer.

Ep 99 – Mo Yan and The Republic of Wine with Dylan Levi King, Michelle Deeter, and Martin Winter
This time there are two discussions. First, sober, with returnees Dylan Levi King and Michelle Deeter. Then, drunk with DLK and poet/translator Martin Winter. So get your visa stamped and your baijiu in hand – we’re going in.
Ep 98 – The Book of Beijing with Shi Yifeng and Carson Ramsdell
All a-puff with imperial gusto, we leaf through three stories in Comma Press’ new collection. Prepare to shiver, to snicker, and to squeal – but not necessarily in that order.
Ep 97 – Lin Yi-han and Fang Si-Chi’s First Love Paradise with Jenna Tang
This time we reflect on an all-too-real #MeToo novel centred around the titular girl and the cram school teacher who abused her all through her teens.
Ep 96 – Puppet Flower with Chen Yao-chang and Chen Tung-jung
Can our heroes arrive at a peaceful settlement between the native people of southern Taiwan, their absentee Qing administrators, the diverse Western powers creeping ever closer, the Hakka, the Hokkien, the Han… have you lost count yet?
Ep 95 – Shi Tiesheng and My Travels in Ding Yi with Chloë Starr
Another mind, another world. Become embodied with Buddha and confer with Christ as we puzzle out the life of Ding Yi and his spirit companion.
Ep 94 – Li Er and Cherries on a Pomegranate Tree with Dave Haysom
It’s election season. No excess babies can be afforded. Canvassing with me on this one is the spitting dog himself, Dave Haysom.
Ep 93 – Xu Zechen and Running through Beijing with Eric Abrahamsen
Insert your porn DVD, stamp your hukou, and – most importantly – find somewhere to sleep tonight, because we’re heading into the capital’s netherlands.
Ep 92 – Zijin Chen and Bad Kids with Michelle Deeter
This time we’re wandering blind through the dark children’s palace that author Zijin Chen has constructed for the benefit and perturbation of all.
Ep 91 – Yu Xiuhua and Moonlight Rests on My Left Palm with Fiona Sze-Lorrain
In the ninety first episode of the Translated Chinese Podcast, we are travelling half across China to fuck you.
