A trailing spouse, a café in Shunyi, a private detective, and a long wait . . . Spittoon (Not Exactly) Monthly presents "The Bitter Beijing Blues" by Rianka Mohan. After the story, stick around for an interview with the author by Jennifer Fossenbell.

@yilinwriter As for the sample, any genre and any length will do! We want to get a sense of your voice as a translator as well as your proficiency in Chinese and English

[Spittoon Collective @SpittoonC]

We’re seeking Chinese-English literary translators for an exciting new publication!

[Spittoon Collective @SpittoonC]

@yilinwriter Thanks for these questions! Once we have selected translators who we feel would be good fits, we will present them with either a work of prose or poetry by a contemporary Chinese writer to see if they are interested in translating it into English. They would be paid.

@ZFinBJ Congratulations Sophie!

Eventually released is my book in Chinese, The Reaper 《割芦苇的人》， a collection of essays. Here’s the contents part arranged as in ancient times. The title reminds you of the grim reaper? A reader said it’s reminiscent of Wordsworth’s The Solitary Reaper. What a surprise!

@ZFinBJ Beautiful 💙

The controversy of rate limits somehow draws me back here… By the way, the latest issue of Spittoon Literary Magazine (with cover art “The Tomb of Poetry” by Guo Jing) came out in late May. It has been a while…

[Spittoon Collective @SpittoonC]

Spittoon Monthly welcomes more submissions for our next feature, deadline November 12th. Every writer we publish gets the full special treatment--artwork, interview, and thoughtful interaction with their work. Please submit and spread the word.

[Spittoon Collective @SpittoonC]

Do you write hybrid work? Does it cross boundaries of genre and/or culture? Is your work from or about Asia (in the most inclusive sense)? If so, we want to draw attention to your work.

Back to reality after #BCLT2022 looks like working on my #Literarytranslation assignment for @SpittoonC .
Thank you. From everyone at @bcltuea to the entire Literature from Taiwan group and of course the National Museum of Taiwan Literature. You’ve reminded me that I have wings.
