check out this literary prize, some of you may be interested in the authors/novels that were selected for consideration. the prize specifically focuses on English-language novels that were written by authors in Asia. this year was its inaugural year and the prize was won by Chinese author Jiang Rong.
i've read one of the books by one of the 5 authors that were shortlisted. The Unwalled City by Xu Xi (徐熙) (http://www.xuxiwriter.com/). it was an excellent read about the days leading to Hong Kong's handover.
