Tang Fei (writer)

Tang Fei is the pen-name of Chinese science fiction writer Wang Jing. She mainly writes speculative novellas and short stories, and is a member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.

Career
She has written and published nearly 500,000 words since 2005. Her works have been selected in various SF of the Year, Fantasy of the Year and Tibetan SF&F series in China. Since 2013, her stories have been translated into English by Ken Liu and other translators, and published in the UK, the US and Australia, two of which were selected as APEX's Year's Best.

In 2017, Tang Fei's short story collection The Person Who Saw Cetus (看见鲸鱼座的人) was published by Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House. In 2018, she was invited to Adelaide by the Culture Ministry of Australia as a representative of Chinese writers, to attend the Festival of Literacy. In 2019, her novel The Nameless Feast (无名盛宴) was published by Jiangsu Literature and Art Publishing House. "Many of her stories have a tone touched by Magic Realism, as if the mundane world of modern China is just out of reach behind a veil of romantic allegories," according to John Clute.
