Books of Chinese Nobel laureate to hit Russian market next year
MOSCOW, Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- Books of Chinese Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan would meet Russian readers next September, Alexander Shepetina, vice1 president of the Russian Union of Writers, said Friday.
Shepetina, who was attending the International Book Fair in Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany, told Itar-Tass news agency via phone that Mo's books would be introduced to Russia for the first time at the 26th Moscow International Book Fair
slated2 for next September.
Currently, only
excerpts3 of the Nobel Laureate's works were translated in Russian. The Russian Union of Writers was trying to approach owners of Mo's books and buy the rights for their publication in Russia, Shepetina said.
After signing contracts with the Chinese partners, Russian publishers would translate Mo's books and bring them to the Russian readers, Shepetina said, adding it would be "a great discovery for all of us."
Mo Yan, a
pseudonym4 for Guan Moye, was born in 1955 and grew up in Gaomi in east China's Shandong Province.
In his writing, Mo draws on his youth and his native province, which are most apparent in his novel "Red Sorghum," later made into an award-winning film by director Zhang Yimou.
"Big Breasts and Wide
Hips5" and "Life and Death are Wearing Me Out" are also among his most famous works. His works have been translated and published in English, French, Swedish, Spanish, German, Italian and Japanese.
In Mo's works, "hallucinatory realism
merges6 with folk tales, history and the contemporary," according to the official Nobel
citation7.
