You will LOVE @EmilyMatchar’s In the Shadow of the Greenbrier! It’s truly a saga of what it means to be a foreigner in any land at any time — even in your own family. I’m so honored I got to bring it to life in the audiobook! Thank you @MollyyLoRe @livmacsmith @PRHAudio 🐧

Emily's nonfiction book HOMEWARD BOUND was the first book I ever sold as an agent. More than a decade letter, she sent me her novel!

The novel that’s been bouncing around my brain for years will be published in 2024!

Perhaps my favorite review yet. @AP, you had me at your title, "Humanity crystallized in ‘Letter to a Stranger’". Shout-outs to the work of @thejeremybjones @TrickyLaRouge and @EmilyMatchar embedded in the review--so well-deserved! 🥂

“The result has been an embarrassingly shambolic effort that has created a preventable public-health disaster, yet another glaring failure of governance from an administration whose defining characteristic is catastrophic ineptitude.” https://t.co/IN523NfPdg

One of the fundamentally broken things about Hong Kong's current Covid situation is that it has neither the scale/labor force/compliance of the mainland to do a draconian lockdown, nor the democratic accountability to ensure balanced, reasonable public health measures.

My op ed in today’s SCMP: despite zero covid in Hong Kong, children have not been allowed to resume normal school day - and EDB seems to have no plan https://t.co/cV69ohQKjY

The pioneers of Hong Kong's LGBT movement are largely in jail or targets of Beijing. LegCo is rife with bigotry, most notably in the form of Junius Ho.
