EU-China-litfest 10: Noir, Suspense and Setting the Scene

Stina Jackson (Sweden), A Yi (China)

 

Saturday, November 21. 11 am Beijing Time


Carefully drawn landscapes and urban settings create vivid backdrops for tautly written prose, with the setting able to loom as a motif or an integral character in the hands of gifted writers. Nordic noir’s rising star Stina Jackson brings her readers through the sweeping, remote landscapes of the Swedish north in her runaway, slow-crime bestseller The Silver Road (published in China by Citic Press), while critically acclaimed and widely translated Chinese author A Yi often uses contemporary Chinese cityscapes in his crafted storytelling. Join Stina Jackson and A Yi as they discuss their writing lives, their recent work and the role setting has in the architecture of their prose.
