FYI, Hon Lai Chu's The Kite Family and Other Stories (Muse, 2015) is also available in English translation. (I translated it). I've also translated her short story "Puma" for Words Without Borders, for a special HK feature that includes work by Dorothy Tse ("Chewing on Words", trans. by Natascha Bruce) and Xi Xi ("Apple", trans. by Jennifer Feeley, who's also translated a book of Xi Xi's selected poetry, Not Written Words and is at work on Xi Xi's novel Mourning A Breast). One of Hon Lai Chu's Ming Pao essays was published this year on the LARB China Channel website.
