Paperback. Condition: Good. Poetry. Asian & Asian American Studies. Music. The nearly supernatural nature of this groundbreaking work can be glimpsed in the book's title: YING LISHI (Chanted Songs, Beautiful Poetry): SINOPHONIC ENGLISH POETRY AND POETICS. When read aloud, YING LISHI (pronounced yeen guh lee shr) sounds like an accented pronunciation of the word English, while the Chinese reader sees the Chinese characters for chanted songs, beautiful poetry. Stalling coined this term (and Sinophonic English) to give a positive name to an increasingly widespread variation of English created by combining the two dominant languages of globalization (Mandarin Chinese and English). With over 350 million English speakers in China (more than there are Americans alive) many of whom speak English by recombining existing Chinese sounds into English words and sentences, this new hybrid language is already overwhelmingly present, yet its aesthetic potential has not yet been explored. Stalling's book complicates any easy dismissal of so-called Chinglish by creating a genuinely uncanny poetry written entirely in Sinophonic English. Stalling rewrites a common English phrasebook into hauntingly beautiful Chinese poetry (which is all translated into English) that when sung, becomes an uncannily accented libretto, a story of a Chinese tourist's one-way journey into this interstitial language and its sonorous, if disastrous, consequences.…

paperback. Condition: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. First Edition. Norman. 2016. November 2016. University of Oklahoma Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780806154046. 6 x 9. New Edition. Chinese Literature Today Book Series - 6. 352 pages. paperback. keywords: Asia China Literature Translated Anthology World Literature. DESCRIPTION - The novella, as the editors of this volume explain, is in many ways the native habitat of modern Chinese literary productionthe ideal fictional form for revealing the various facets of contemporary Chinese culture. The seven novellas collected here resoundingly support their claim. Featuring works by award winners and rising stars, women and men, By the River presents a confluence of some of the most compelling voices in China today. Together, their narratives reflect the rich diversity of Chinese experience in the modern era. These novellas are stories of coming of age in the countryside, of romance in the shadow of an electrical power station or in the watery landscape of a lost love, of a daughter's epic journey to find her estranged mother. Whether telling of love or loss, of work or play along the river of experience, the narratives are replete with details that bring literary depth to the everydaythe mark of the novella. These details, the editors tell us, and the novellas into which they are woven, defy simple answers to moral and political questions about modern life, leaving readers with the feeling that their world has been made larger, that they have seen through different eyes for a moment, if not forever. Reflecting modern Chinese life in the city and in the country, and among diverse regional cultures, By the River showcases the best of contemporary Chinese long- form fiction. inventory #48182.…
