Okay, so I’m actually getting published somewhere that isn’t on a site I personally run. It’s going to be on paper, with ink, and in libraries and everything. So…yeah, that’s kind of cool for a grad student.
China in 2008: A Year of Great Significance
Not to let my own ego run amok, because the real reason to buy the book is the stunning collection of historians, China scholars, and noted journalists who contributed material: Jeffrey Wasserstrom, Leslie T. Chang, Peter Hessler, Pankaj Mishra, Howard French, Xujun Eberlein, David Bandurski, Geremie R. Barmé, Kenneth Pomeranz, Timothy Weston…and I’m stopping there lest this start to sound like I’m a basketball announcer.
Check it out.
Great to hear that it is out – I guess they will get copies in at the Bookworm. Will you be having a book launch in its honor?
PS its two years today since I met you guys. Time flies!
that’s fantastic! the hua essay was one of your better ones, so that’s cool to see it get a broader circulation. way to go, man.
Wu Ming,
Thanks…would it be ironic if Hua rescues me from obscurity?
rescuing unfairly neglected figures from historical obscurity is a hoary historical tradition, after all. think there’s enough there there for a biography, down the line?
