Biography

Ge Fei was born in Dantu, Jiangsu, in 1964. He graduated from East China Normal University in 1985. He received his PhD in 2000. He was invited to participate in the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa, United States, in 2009.

Works

His most prominent work is the novel Peach Blossom Beauty (人面桃花, Renmian Taohua, 2004), which explores the concept of utopia, and is laden with classical allusions. It is the first book of his Jiangnan Trilogy, of which the second book, My Dream of the Mountain and River (山河入梦 Shanhe Rumeng), was published in 2007. The third is Spring Ends in Jiangnan (春尽江南), published in 2011.

The title of Renmian Taohua is taken from a classical work, and has also been used by the director Du Haibin for his documentary on a gay club in Chengdu (2005). The English name for the film, Beautiful Men, is not a direct translation.

The novellas The Invisibility Cloak and Flock of Brown Birds are the only works by Ge Fei to be available in English. They appeared in 2016 in translations by Canaan Morse and Poppy Toland respectively.
