You are invited to a conversation with Hong Kong novelist Lau Yee-Wa, who will read from her novel Tongueless. Lau’s short story “The Shark” won the prestigious Hong Kong Champion of the Arts Award for Creative Writing in Chinese in 2016. After working as an editor in a publishing house for five years, she transitioned into writing fiction and pursuing a career in education. Her debut novel Tongueless has been highly praised by acclaimed Hong Kong authors including Chan Ho-Kei and Dorothy Tse. The English version of Tongueless, translated by Jennifer Feeley, was published in June 2024 by The Feminist Press.
This event is sponsored by the Department of Asian Studies, the Department of Comparative Literature, and the Humanities Institute, and is supported by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council.
