I have an article in this collection, now available to pre-order, which is going to make such an impact on SF scholarship as long as people can access it. For my friends who work at universities; please ask your schools to order a copy if you can: routledge.com/The-Routledge-…

Diverse Futures got a review in the LA Review of Books!!! This is the longest review to date, and Julia Lindsay did a thorough job of breaking down the themes of the book: lareviewofbooks.org/article/…

Excited for this new book from Matt Sommer! A “groundbreaking study of transgender lives and practices in late imperial China.” Looks like a major contribution to Qing history. February 2024! cup.columbia.edu/book/the-fo…
Exciting news! Tie Ning's "Night of the Spring Breeze" was the first story I ever translated. You can read it on the Amazon preview of the Autumn 2013 issue of @PathlightMag. I learned so much from the Pathlight editors. Very grateful! amazon.com/Pathlight-Autumn-…
"These thirteen books are significant works of literature – individually, in their quality; and collectively, in how they help shift the UK literary landscape." - Will Forrester @official_foz
Could not agree more! Many thanks to all @englishpen for their support!

Congratulations to Tie Ning, Annelise Finegan, and @sinoistbooks! Can't wait to read the forthcoming translation.
Update: I loved it! Suspenseful plot, beautiful writing, and I'll be thinking about the ethical questions it raises for a long time. Well done, @YumeKitasei <3 #TheDeepSky
Happy Book Birthday to @YumeKitasei’s #debut novel The Deep Sky! #scifi bookshop.org/p/books/the-dee…

Despite an uptick in climate-related disasters in recent years, Chinese sci-fi has been relatively quiet on the topic of global warming. Can a new novellette change that?

Really proud of this interview with the brilliant futurist @monikabielskyte. She has an absolute wealth of knowledge about history, culture, & future-related stuff. This interview is a tiny snapshot of the 90+ minutes that we chatted. Highly recommended!:

Sesame Workshop mourns the passing of Tony Bennett, who brought joy and music to millions of people around the world. Mr. Bennett joined us on Sesame Street in 1998 to turn a classic of his into a new favorite of ours.

Immersing oneself in podcasts about China is a great way to learn about contemporary society as well as sharpen Chinese listening skills. But there are so many to choose from. @andrewmethven suggests you begin with these: thechinaproject.com/2023/07/…
