Translating Trauma: Lin Yi-Han's novel Fang Si-Chi's First Love Paradise and Taiwan's #MeToo Movement

Literary translator Jenna Tang will share her experience translating Lin Yi-Han’s novel Fang Si-Chi’s First Love Paradise, which is widely recognized as the most influential novel of Taiwan’s #MeToo movement. In addition to exploring the inherent artistic questions of the work of translation itself, Jenna will touch on the intersection of trauma and literature, the process of bringing the work to English-speaking readers, and her interactions with the late author’s family.
