DKU Intercultural Book Club

The DKU Intercultural Book Club is hosted by Austin Woerner in partnership with the Duke Kunshan University Library.

Each session the Book Club will choose one book to read in both English and Chinese. Read in whichever language you prefer and come ready to discuss your reactions to the book with other readers who may have experienced it in the other language!

昆杜跨文化读书会是由 Austin Woerner (温侯廷)与昆山杜克大学图书馆携手主持的一个文学社团。

每个月我们会选一本有中英文版的书,大家可以选自己喜欢的版本(中文版或英文版)然后一起分享各自的阅读心得。

Book Club Field Trip: Jin Yucheng @ Shanghai Lit Fest

Jin Yucheng

Jin Yucheng, acclaimed author of Blossoms 《繁花》, one of the few novels published in Shanghainese, discusses his work and process with his friend Qiu Xiaolong, author of the Inspector Chen series, and Duke Kunshan lecturer Austin Woerner.

Moderated by Qiu Xiaolong and Austin Woerner

Jin Yucheng’s online novel written in Shanghai dialect, Fan Hua (“Blossoms”), won the 2015 Mao Dun Prize for Literature and triggered a surge of interest in dialect literature.

To reserve a spot with me on this field trip, please RSVP to me directly (on WeChat). A limited number of free tickets will be available for students. (Students will cover the cost of their own high-speed rail tickets in and out of Shanghai.)
