My latest piece for China Books Review has just dropped—travel with us around the world!

Nice roundup of recent non-fiction by Chinese writers. I wish some of this stuff would get translated into English chinabooksreview.com/2024/09/12/wha…

Last year around this time, I wrote a story about primordial fear and relationship. It's coming out this fall in Kenyon Review and I'm honored to be in such good company. Check out "Daughter" and the rest of the stellar writings in the issue: kenyonreview.org/piece/daughter/

My debut novel MASQUERADE is out from Tin House today. It’s about the wretched, beautiful place that is New York and the implacable ghosts of history and memory.

It's ink painting-but so much more. Join us for a 12-week in-person workshop w/ artist Huiqi He to revisit this traditional Chinese art form & explore its potential for cross-disciplinary creativity. The 1st class begins next Tue (11/26). Grab your spot: lu.ma/calendar/cal-M…

From legendary #Go masters to practical game strategies, we've got you covered. Join us for a six-week Go class to sharpen your focus and challenge your mind. Every Wed starting from 11/27, 7-9 pm at Union Square. Be a game changer today: lu.ma/calendar/cal-m…

Only at Accent Sisters will you learn how to play #Go with scenes from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Every Wednesday from 7-9 pm in Union Square. Register today and you can bring a free guest! Link: lu.ma/rbzk50sk

Issue Fourteen is here! 🧵 thedriftmag.com/issue/issue-14/

Thanks to The Drift , I had the opportunity to discuss an issue close to my heart: a unique phenomenon in Chinese literary translation that sheds light on the (in)visibility & creative agency of translators. I hope you’ll give it a read!

Big thanks to jordan c-t for commissioning the piece and guiding me through it & to the entire editorial team for their meticulous and thoughtful edits and feedback!

New column just dropped👀

A very special essay out today with Granta. It’s about worship, China, patterns, food deliveries, burials, divinations, gorges, moths, padded bras, and silk worms. To see how it all connects, please give this a read and share🙏 granta.com/the-secret-pat…

Slowly migrating to Bluesky now because I almost never see posts from people I actually follow here! Let’s connect there.
