Ep 80 - Chiou Charng-Ting and Raining Zebra Finches with May Huang
Manage episode 345137862 series 2487572
‘In the same spot where Father died, the dead body of a deer lay prostrate in the rain.’
In the eightieth episode of the Translated Chinese Fiction Podcast, it’s Raining Zebra Finches (斑胸草雀 / bān xiōng cǎo què). Blame for this troubling meteorological occurrence falls upon Taiwanese author Chiou Charng-Ting; it’s her story. Under the weather with me is her translator, May Huang. In our discussion we’ll be testing the limits of our earthly knowledge and dreaming of other philosophies. When nature stops hiding and springs the inexplicable upon us, where else is there to turn?
