SPITTOON LITERARY MAGAZINE IS A PUBLICATION OF CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE. WE SEEK OUT, TRANSLATE, AND PUBLISH THE MOST CURIOUS, ORIGINAL, AND BOUNDARY DEFYING VOICES OF THE CHINESE LANGUAGE.

Completely independent, a little reckless, and obsessed with language, we aim to capture the vast spectrum of contemporary Chinese letters by looking for literature that embodies the beautiful, the strange, the subversive, and the moment.

From accomplished to emerging writers, our publication reflects a Chinese language that is inquisitive, ever-evolving, illusory, and honest. Language that exchanges touches and gazes and tastes. Language that comes to terms with the world.
