Chinese writer Lu Jiamin wins Asian Booker Prize for Wolf Totem

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article2851521.ece

Lu, writing under a pseudonym, lived 11 years in Mongolia herding sheep and wrote this part memoir, part allegory, part environmental novel over 6 years after 30 years of thinking about it.

Amazing and wonderful.

I hope champion translator Prof. Howard Goldblatt will translate it and we will be able to read it in English soon.

US bans more food,metals from China, incld lithium--tighten belt.
