In this evening’s panel discussion, San Lian bookshop welcomes Shanghai writer Zhu Wenying, whose stories are finding readers in many countries; acclaimed poet and novelist Liu Liduo; Zuzana Kepplova from Slovakia, whose short stories and novels have been translated into Dutch, German, Slovenian, Hindi and Polish; and Dimitrios Stefanakis, a Greek novelist whose works are now widely read in French and Spanish, amongst other languages. The authors will discuss how they construct inviting narratives, tell universal stories, and ultimately manage to connect with a far-flung readership.
