Howard Goldblatt
Dr. Howard Goldblatt presented, "Author and Translator; An Uneasy, Mutually Rewarding, Sometimes Fragile Relationship" for the first ever Anlin Ku Lecture. A translator of Chinese literature into English, Goldblatt’s translations played a key role in the awarding of the 2012 Nobel Prize in literature to Chinese author Mo Yan. Goldblatt translated three of the first four novels that were awarded the Man Asian Literary Prize, an annual literary award given to the best novel by an Asian writer. The translation by Goldblatt and his wife, Lin, of the novel Notes of a Desolate Man received the 1999 American Literary Translators Association Award as the finest work of translation into English from any language.
