Mabel Lee
Mabel Lee is a
poems of Chinese writer, Yang Lian when she met Gao Xingjian, in Paris in 1991. After that meeting, Lee offered to translate Soul Mountain, a project which took seven years, and an additional two to find a publisher for the book in Australia. Following publication, Gao Xingjian became the first Chinese to win a Nobel Prize in Literature.[1]
Lee's translation won the 2001 NSW Premier's Translation Prize[2] despite criticism about the book, and her translation's quality.[3][4] After her retirement from teaching, she translated another of Gao's novels, One Man's Bible, as well as a short-story collection and a book of his essays.[2]
In 2012 Lee's translation of Gao Xingjian: Aesthetics and Creation[5] was published by Cambria Press. The book is part of the Cambria Sinophone World Series[6] headed by Victor H. Mair.
