Tiffany Tsao appointed Deputy Editor of Sydney Review of Books

The Sydney Review of Books is pleased to announce Dr Tiffany Tsao as its new Deputy Editor.

Tiffany is a writer and literary translator. She has previously worked as an editor at Asymptote, InterSastra, and the SRB’s newsletter, The Circular. Her third novel, Under Your Wings, was longlisted for the 2019 Ned Kelly Award. Her translations of Indonesian fiction and poetry have been awarded the NSW Premier’s Translation Prize, the PEN Translation Prize, and longlisted for the International Booker Prize. She holds a PhD in English from UC-Berkeley and is a founding member of the Southeast Asian literature translation collective, the seams.

‘Tiffany brings with her not only the unique linguistic and critical intelligence of a world-class translator, but also an ability to connect local literary currents with international streams of thought and feeling,’ according to Dr James Jiang, the Editor of the SRB.

‘I am immeasurably delighted to be joining the SRB as its Deputy Editor’, Tiffany comments. ‘The world of critical thought is vast, spanning languages, cultures, and countries, and I look forward to continuing the SRB’s excellent work in deepening our appreciation of and involvement in that world.’

Established in 20123, the SRB is an online literary journal produced under Western Sydney University’s Writing and Society Research Centre.

Tiffany begins in the role on March 24.
