Thanks for posting this. The book was translated by my partner Jason Sommer and me in the span of two years.

Congratulations to both of you and thanks for the info (the news item didn't name the translators) - http://www.sobelweber.com/authors/tieNing.html

Thanks. It's strange they didn't bother to mention the translators. Maybe it's just because we're not big shots. :-) By the way, I read your translation of Zhang Xinxin's Dragon World in The Guardian. I had some questions on the first page before it was finalized, but was totally convinced by the published piece. Nicely done.

Thanks. Not sure what you mean by 'on the first page before it was finalized' - if you want to tell me in more detail, perhaps contact me by email through the link on the contributors' page?
