Bruce Humes (born in 1955) is an American literary translator and critic of Chinese literature, specialising in non-Han authors and their works. LifeHumes grew up in Chicago and Pittsburgh, and had an early interest in languages, teaching himself Latin, and learning German from his mother (who had a PhD in 20th-century French literature). He started studying anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, but after a year abroad at the Sorbonne, switched to oriental studies. In 1978 he moved to Taipei to study Mandarin. His first jobs were working in a UN-hosted camp for Vietnamese refugees, and then working for a trade magazine publisher, both in Hong Kong. From 1994 to 2013 he was based in China, first in Shanghai, then in Shenzen.[1] Wei Hui's Shanghai Baby was the first novel he translated from Chinese. As a foreigner living in China, he began to wonder what life was like for Chinese citizens who were not of the majority ethnic group, Han. He decided to explore writing by and about non-Han peoples and launched his blog, Ethnic ChinaLit in 2009 (subsequently renamed Altaic Storytelling, and now Fei Piao). He left China in 2013 to study Turkish in Istanbul. He is regular contributor to the Chinese literature website Paper Republic. TranslationsNovels
