Glad to share a series of three posts recently published, on Chinese author Hai Ya’s “The Space-Time Painter”, which received the 2023 Hugo Award for Best Novelette at that year’s WorldCon in Chengdu City, China. You can see the posts here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
The series proposes a paradigm shift, to refocus readers’ attention to the story itself, instead of the controversial circumstances in which it received the award. Based on an English translation of the novelette produced by the reviewer, the series provides a summary of the story, followed by discussions of its historical and cultural significance and its quality of writing. Enjoy.
