![]() ![]() In April 2010, we met Yiyun Li, who came to present her book in Paris and enjoyed her spontaneity, charm and the quality of her answers far away from stereotyped comments that some writers use in interviews. Having won many prizes in the USA, this collection is published in France after the novel by Yiyun Li, “The Vagrants”, unfortunately translated as “A beautiful spring day” (2), a powerful novel at the end of the Cultural Revolution with characters that you remember. Amazed by the talent of a writer, totally unknown in France, I even contacted her for a telephone interview. We already mentioned it in August 2008 at the time of the release in France of Wayne Wang’s film “A Thousand Years of Good Prayers,” inspired by the short story, title of the collection. The first collection of short stories by Yiyun Li has just been translated into French (1). ![]()
