Juli Min is an American author and literary translator whose debut novel, Shanghailanders, was published in 2024. She translates Korean literature into English and has spent time living in both South Korea and China, experiences that shaped the setting and texture of her first book.
Shanghailanders is set in 1930s Shanghai during a turbulent period of foreign concessions and political upheaval. The novel draws on the real history of the international community that lived in the city during that era. Min’s background as a translator gives her prose a particular sensitivity to language and the way different cultures collide and overlap in a single place.
