Hindi Edition of Contemporary Novel Wild Fox Ridge Debuts at New Delhi Book Fair, Bridging Literary Worlds

The Hindi edition of acclaimed author Xuemo's contemporary novel Wild Fox Ridge was officially launched at the 2026 New Delhi World Book Fair, garnering attention from Indian scholars, translators, and readers.

NEW YORK, NY, January 28, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The novel was translated into Hindi by Anand Swaroop Verma, an award-winning translator, and published by New Delhi–based Prakashan Sansthan, a press long devoted to introducing world literature to Indian readers.

The book launch brought together scholars, translators and literary figures, including B.R. Deepak, a sinologist and director of the Center for Chinese and Southeast Asian Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University, as well as scholar Ravindra Tripathi. During the event, the featured speakers read selected passages from the Hindi edition and engaged in discussions on the novel's literary themes and cultural context.

In his speech, Tripathi described Xuemo as "a writer with international acclaim," praising the intellectual depth and narrative breadth of his work. Rahul Sharma, director of Prakashan Sansthan, said Xuemo's writing is marked by a distinctive voice.

"Among the Chinese novels I've read, Xuemo's work is particularly distinctive and unpredictable," Sharma said. "His sketch-like portrayal of everyday life in rural China, combined with a reflective narrative approach, offers readers a refreshing experience."

Several of Xuemo's works have previously been released in Hindi, including Selected Stories by Xuemo, The World Is a Reflection of the Mind, Wild Fox Ridge and Desert Rites. These books continue to attract attention from both academic circles and general readers in India.

Students and faculty at the University of Delhi and Jawaharlal Nehru University have shown growing interest in Xuemo and his works, which are frequently used in literary research and cross-cultural studies.

Beyond its Hindi edition, Wild Fox Ridge has also gained recognition internationally through its English-language edition. In 2025, the novel stood out among tens of thousands of entries worldwide, receiving several honors, including the International Impact Book Awards, the NYC Big Book Award and the International Book Awards.

According to commentary published by international media, Wild Fox Ridge represents a major stylistic shift in Xuemo's literary career. Compared with his earlier realist works, such as the Desert Trilogy, the novel blends historical narration with mystical and symbolic elements.

Set within a ritual of "summoning the souls," the novel recounts the mysterious disappearance of two camel caravans in western China more than a century ago. Through 28 spectral monologues, the story revisits the inner lives, beliefs and moral dilemmas of camel drivers struggling to survive in the unforgiving desert. Critics have called the work a poetic reimagining of the mythology in China's western region.

During the launch, visitors browsed the new release and spoke with the featured guests, and took a photo with Xue Mo's works for commemoration.
