“Mending Bodies” by Hon Lai Chu (tr. @jacqlyy), @arghpoetica writes, inverts the arc of Aristophanes’s mythos of desire. “One-headed, four-limbed humans—symbols of our lost freedom—are transformed into two-headed, six-limbed creatures by the government.”

[Cha: An Asian Literary Journal @asiancha]

Susan Blumberg-Kason (@Susan_BK) writes abt Hon Lai Chu's 𝑀𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐵𝑜𝑑𝑖𝑒𝑠 (Two Lines Press) for @asiancha: "With Jacqueline Leung’s recent English translation, the narrative assumes an entirely new resonance."

Translation @thedrift_mag

Each writer is a cosmos, and their texts are permeated by their body, sensations, intuitions, political rancor, and schizophrenias … Read Can Xue not because she is Chinese, but because she can tuck seven characters into one...
