On ne traduit que les plus de cinquante ans. La jeune génération littéraire chinoise est peu connue en Occident car les ouvrages ne sont pas accessibles ; il y a heureusement des exceptions de bonne qualité.

BTW, I’ve read The Eye of Jade, and one by Qiu, Death of a Red Heroine. I quite enjoyed them but not snelicifutfy to want very much to read more. The crime plots were not that good, the authors seemed more to want to write about aspects of life in China (which in itself is certainly interesting to me). But in the case of Death of ., the whole plot depended on a clue being hidden in a very obvious place and the people who were looking for it not finding it. There was an awful lot of book between the not finding and the finding! Even so, the exploration of the Red Heroine and her life was fascinating, as well as the pressures of the main character. The Eye of Jade has the interesting premise of a woman starting up a detective agency and having to have a male assistant as a sort of cover of respectability , so people think he is in charge. I don’t remember all that much about it except that the social observations of China were better than the crime plot.On Catherine Sampson, the first two books are not set in China but London, and I think were written before the author moved there. You can start reading them at book 3, though, when China becomes the main event, without losing anything.
