The work of Can Xue (IWP '92), in particular the recent novels Frontier and Vertical Motion (translated by Karen Gernant and Chen Zeping) is surveyed in The New Yorker.
International Writing Program's core courses are closely related to our Fall Residency. In International Literature Today [181;191/IWP 3191] students read the prose and poetry of the visiting writers, who then offer informal lectures to place their work in a wide variety of literary and cultural contexts. In the International Translation Workshop [181:205/IWP 5205] selected visiting writers collaborate with graduate students of languages and literatures, or creative writing, to bring their texts into English.
