I wrote about extinction for the LRB Blog. Spare a thought for the thylacine.

The LARB has a new China blog which has lots of good content by people who really know their stuff. I wrote something for a roundtable discussion on Han Song’s story ‘Finished’, a Kafka-esque story about migrant workers.

I wrote a piece for 3 a.m. magazine about Magda Szabó.

I wrote about Cambridge University Press’s decision to censor some of its content in China for the London Review of Books Blog.

Looking forward to reading from The Casualties in Stockholm next week. Event details here.

Thanks to Timothy A. Grosse for his generous review of China’s Forgotten People in The China Journal.
