The article discusses translator Jeremy Tiang's discovery of the book 'Delicious Hunger' by Hai Fan, which reflects the author's experiences as a guerrilla soldier in Southeast Asia. Despite challenges in finding an English publisher, Tiang managed to secure a deal with Tilted Axis, a British publisher that specializes in experimental translations. The book not only won an English PEN Translates Award but also marked a significant achievement as the first Singaporean work to do so. Now, with Tilted Axis expanding to North America, 'Delicious Hunger' is set to be released, alongside several other translated works.
"Delicious Hunger, written under a pen name by author Hai Fan, reflects his 13 years as a guerrilla soldier, offering a unique perspective from Singaporean literature."
"Tiang faced challenges getting an English publisher, eventually succeeding with Tilted Axis, known for 'subversive, experimental works' in translation."
