Reviews

'Sun Yifeng is one of the most trenchant commentators I know on Chinese ambivalence toward translation, and through translation, toward foreign otherness. Hailing from Western China but based in Hong Kong, Prof. Sun is ideally positioned to explore that ambivalence, and he does so in a measured, thoughtful, and solidly researched way. An excellent book!' — Douglas Robinson, Chair Professor of English, Hong Kong Baptist University
