In this episode, Jen Bowden is joined by Siang Lu to talk about his new novel, the allegorical and imaginative, Ghost Cities.
Ghost Cities – inspired by the vacant, uninhabited megacities of China – follows multiple narratives, including one in which a young man named Xiang is fired from his job as a translator at Sydney’s Chinese Consulate after it is discovered he doesn’t speak a word of Chinese and has been relying entirely on Google Translate for his work.
