The mission of Chinese Literature and Thought Today ( CLTT) is to provide the finest English translations of and fresh critical essays about contemporary Chinese literature, culture, philosophy, and intellectual history. CLTT grants the English-speaking world direct access to the latest developments and top-notch research in contemporary Chinese culture and offers readers exclusive coverage of the biannual Newman Prize for Chinese Literature, hosted at the University of Oklahoma. CLTT’s rich text and vibrant art design invite you to explore the figures, places, experiences, memories, thoughts, and emotions that make the intellectual landscape of contemporary Chinese literature and thought so dynamic and consequential. CLTT represents the merger of two forerunners of Chinese humanities scholarly publication, Contemporary Chinese Thought and Chinese Literature Today. Our editors, contributors, and translators continue to aim at deepening the global understanding of our diverse yet shared humanity.
