| The first bilingual book lovers gathering in Cantonese and English was successfully hosted by Mr. Joseph HK Poon on Sunday, 19th October at The Book Attic. A short video of the gathering is in this link. Enjoy! |
| Joseph has taught at The University of Hong Kong for eighteen years. An Associate Professor and Translation Programme Coordinator at the School of Chinese, he teaches mainly Translation, specializes and has published on literary translation, classical literature, literary criticism and language education. He has for fourteen years been on the Executive Committee of The Hong Kong Translation Society, and is the founding editor of its academic journal Translation Quarterly, of which he now serves as an Executive Editor. Restless by temperament, Joseph succeeded beyond his wildest dream in remaining conscientiously lazy during the portion of his youth spent at a tiny college at Oxford University, where in a general haze of spirited idleness he read promiscuously, and in his spare moments he thought about the philosophical foundations of poetics. A lover of good storytelling and fine prose, Joseph will talk about the joy to be had in the company of his favourite authors. They include William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, Henry James, Oscar Wilde, Lytton Strachey, E M Forster, D H Lawrence, Robert Graves, J R R Tolkien, George Orwell, Graham Greene, Nancy Mitford, Albert Camus, Iris Murdoch, David Hawkes, Gore Vidal, Gabriel García Márquez, V S Naipaul, David Lodge, Julian Barnes, Sebastian Faulks, Vikram Seth, and Kazuo Ishiguro. |
