Liu Xiaobo: new book lifts China's gag on jailed Nobel peace prizewinner
Liu Xiaobo, winner of Nobel peace prize, will have his collected writings published in English for the first time
Read 'Your Lifelong Prisoner' – Liu Xiaobo's poem from prison
The collected writings of Chinese Nobel prizewinner Liu Xiaobo have been translated into English for the first time, but there will be no interviews, bookshop signings or appearances at literary festivals. The author is not even aware of the English translation, because he remains incarcerated in a Chinese jail and his wife is under house arrest.
