UCR Departments of Creative Writing and Comparative Literature

Present a conversation with



 

Liao Yiwu, a distinguished Chinese poet and writer of literary non-fiction,
specializes in evoking the lives and feelings of people "at the bottom" in
Chinese society--farmers, bricklayers, school teachers, shamens, lepers, and
others.  His work is banned in China, but circulates there online, and is
available in English in The Corpse Walker (Pantheon, 2008) and God is Red
(HarperCollins, 2011).   

 

After some short readings from these works, Liao, who does not speak
English, will answer questions from Professor Andrew Winer, Department of
Creative Writing, with interpretation by Professor Perry Link, Department of
Comparative Literature.
