Eliot Weinberger’s first study of multiple Chinese translations was the perennially popular 19 Ways of Looking at Wang Wei (1987). His essays are collected in Works on Paper, Outside Stories and Karmic Traces. Among his many translations are The Collected Poems of Octavio Paz 1957–1987, Bei Dao’s Unlock and Jorge Luis Borges’ Selected Non-Fictions, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism in 1999.
