According to the bewilderingly titled “Edinburgh to start festive season with Chinese elements” posted on Xinhua Net’s English site, Xi Chuan will be in Scotland in August for the Edinburgh International Book Festival. The article reports:

Another cultural event is the Edinburgh International Book Festival, scheduled for August 11-27, which will invite 800 authors from 43 countries and regions, including China, said Frances Sutton, press manager of the festival.

“They include Guo Xiaolu, Li Yiyun and Xi Chuan,” she said.

Aside from Xi Chuan, I find this a strange list with which to promote Chinese literature. Both Li Yiyun 李翊雲 and Guo Xiaolu 郭小橹 write in English.
