Internationally acclaimed writer to discuss film adaptation

Novelist Yu Hua
10 a.m., Feb. 29, 2004--Yu Hua, author of the critically acclaimed novel “To Live,” will discuss his work at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, March 2, in 204 Kirkbride Hall.

Hua’s talk, entitled “‘To Live’: From the Novel to the Film—Why Do I Write?,” will be preceded by a 5 p.m. screening in 140 Smith Hall of the Academy Award-nominated film “To Live,” which is based on his novel.

“To Live” recently was named one of the 10 most influential books of the decade in China and was adapted into an equally acclaimed film by the Chinese director Khang Yimou.

Hua was a fellow at the Iowa International Writing Program in 2003 and has won several awards for his work, including the prestigious Premio Grinzane Cavour Award (Italy, 1998) and the James Joyce Foundation Award (2002). His works have been translated into English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian and Russian.

The lecture and film are cosponsored by the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, the East Asian Studies Program, the Center for International Studies, the Department of Political Science and International Relations and the Delaware Department of Education. Both are free and open to the public. For more information, call Jianguo Chen at 831-2183.
