Set in wartime Sarawak\, *The Crossing of the Boars* (Ye zhu du he\,\n2018\, rev. 2024)\, released in English this year\, dazzles with a wartime mystery enmeshed in an\necological fantasia: ghostly colonists mating like guppies\, macaques mirroring Japanese war\ncriminals\, bomber storks\, ominous urinating porcupines\, wildfire-igniting squirrels\, monstrous\nquagmires\, vengeful flying she-vampires\, and herd upon herd of insatiable bearded pigs.\n\nChristopher Rea discusses how he and Julie M. Wang rendered this award-winning novel into\nEnglish\, including the process of researching a historical epic whose architectonic sentences\nteem with flora and fauna found only in Borneo. In doing so\, he offers answers to a more\ngeneral question: When faced with a challenging text\, how can a translator get out alive?\n\nChristopher Rea is professor of modern Chinese literature at the University of British Columbia.\nHis book-length translations from Chinese into English include *China’s Chaplin: Comic Stories\nand Farces by Xu Zhuodai* (Cornell\, open access)\, *The Book of Swindles and More Swindles from\nthe Late Ming* (both with Bruce Rusk\, Columbia)\, *Humans\, Beasts\, and Ghosts by Qian Zhongshu*\n(Columbia)\, and Zhang Guixing’s *The Crossing of the Boars: A Novel* (with Julie M. Wang\,\nColumbia\, 2026). He is also the founding director and lead translator of the Chinese Film\nClassics Project\, the world’s largest free online collection of early Chinese films with English\nsubtitles.\n\nhttps://cup.columbia.edu/book/the-crossing-of-the-boars/9780231217668/\n\nhttps://asia.ubc.ca/profile/christopher-rea/\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.
