On the Smell of an Oily Rag: Speaking English, Thinking Chinese and Living Australian
Author(s): Ouyang Yu
Scholarly and scatological, this cornucopia of fun and wisdom is a breathtaking picture of speech, thought and images from the world's richest and oldest culture, giving an insight into how English-lang- uage and Chinese-language cultures collide, contrast and illuminate each other. It's about what is lost and gained in translation.
