On the Smell of an Oily Rag: Speaking English, Thinking Chinese and Living Australian
Yu Ouyang
Scholarly and scatological, this cornucopia of fun and wisdom is a breathtaking picture of speech, thought and images from the world’s richest and oldest culture.
On the Smell of an Oily Rag gives an insight like no other into how English-language and Chinese-language cultures collide, contrast and illuminate each other. It’s about what is lost in translation and what can be gained by it.
‘Very big, China.’ - Noel Coward
