Unbound Bookstore Book Launch: The Crossing of the Boars
Join us for a special evening celebrating the publication of The Crossing of the Boars (《野豬渡河》) by acclaimed Malaysian Chinese author Zhang Guixing, translated from Chinese by Christopher Rea and Julie M. Wang.
Originally written in Chinese, Zhang’s magnum opus is hailed as an epic masterpiece of ecological fantasy and historical fiction. It immerses readers in the rainforests of Borneo, weaving a dazzling, violent, and vibrant tapestry of a multiethnic frontier community.
Translator Christopher Rea and and a special guest will join us in-person for a discussion on translating Zhang’s linguistic virtuosity, the rich historical landscape of Sarawak, and the art of bringing boundary-crossing Sinophone literature to English-language readers.
