Jade City is a 2017 fantasy novel by Fonda Lee. It won the World Fantasy Award in 2018 and is the first in the Green Bone Saga. It was followed by Jade War in 2019 and Jade Legacy in 2021. The titular Jade City is a nickname for Janloon, the capital of the island of Kekon in the novel's secondary world setting. One reviewer described Kekon as "an analog of mid-20th-century Hong Kong" although Lee has alluded to the setting being inspired by Asia more generally, stating that Kekon is not "Hong Kong or Taiwan or Japan or China or any of those places." She has stated that one of her goals for the novel was to "write an epic fantasy that was not set in medieval Europe," featuring "the scheming and politics and clash of noble houses elements" in a "different cultural setting but also different

  • 『翡翠城市』（Jade City）はフォンダ・リーによる2017年のファンタジー小説。同作は2018年の世界幻想文学大賞を受賞し、グリーンボーン・サーガ三部作の第一作でもある。続編として2019年に Jade War が出版され、2021年11月23日に Jade Legacy が出版された。 標題の「翡翠の街」（"Jade City"）は、この小説の異世界設定でのケコン島の首都、ジャンルーンのニックネームである。リーがこの設定がより一般的なアジアに触発されたものであることを示唆し、ケコンは「香港でも、台湾でも、日本でも、中国でも、それ以外のどんな場所でも」ないと述べたにもかかわらず、あるレビュアーはケコンを「20世紀中葉の香港のアナログ」と解説した。リーはこの小説のゴールの一つは「異なる文化設定と時代」の「陰謀と政治と高貴な家の成員の衝突」を取り上げた「中世ヨーロッパ以外を舞台としたエピック・ファンタージを書くこと」と述べている。 (ja)
