Many months after submitting this, I received a call from @danjonesnyt at midnight on my birthday about my essay. Thank you to Dan and the @nytimes editors for their care with this. Incredibly honored, proud, and terrified to share this writing.

Today marks one year since Among the Braves was published. Surreal to think of what the book chronicles -- the rapid decline of democracy, the hypocrisy of the Trump administration and its China policies, young people risking everything for their beliefs -- in today's context

Next, read "The Problem of Silence" by @jerrinetanew, originally published on January 15, 2020:

“If silence can always be (mis)interpreted as “yes,” and speech has no meaning, what resistance is available?”

Today, August 14, marks the International Memorial Day for "Comfort Women," during which we honor and remember the thousands of women forced into sexual servitude by the Japanese Imperial Army during WWII, and continue to call for justice for today's survivors.❤️‍🩹

"The protest is turning violent - all violence is done by the police". How painful and yet familiar to watch the global symptom of police brutality

"Suddenly, the privileged chosen one — the imperialist who is also the Christ figure — becomes the suffering victim deserving of sympathy." @jerrinetanew on "Dune" (2021), alt-victimhood, and "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind." https://t.co/WRLOt9aZ85

So pleased to share this incredibly insightful review by @mealy_potatoes which I edited for @ASAP_Journal , on @dan_sinykin ‘s “Big Fiction” and @XanderManshel ‘s “Writing Backwards.” Such a great pairing!

[ASAP/Journal @ASAP_Journal]

In the latest review, @mealy_potatoes discusses @dan_sinykin's "Big Fiction" and @XanderManshel's "Writing Backwards": 'These excellent, systematic studies complement each other well in defining the contours of the contemporary US novel'.

Proud to share this essay, on one of my fav films of all time, Infernal Affairs, in which I situate the trilogy within Hong Kong's political history. Thank you to the editors of @FilmQuarterly & @girishshambu editor of Quorum for believing in this piece.

[Film Quarterly @FilmQuarterly]

Jerrine Tan weighs in on twenty years of Infernal Affairs in Film Quarterly's latest QUORUM post https://t.co/yljOqVf6J5

[The Daily @CriterionDaily]

“Not merely another triad or undercover cop film, INFERNAL AFFAIRS offers a powerful extended meditation on Hong Kong’s complex identity and the geopolitical shifts of power set in motion by the 1997 handover.”

@dan_sinykin Congrats, @dan_sinykin ! I just received a review copy for @ASAP_Journal and am eager to read it myself and to find a great reviewer for it!

A year ago I was invited to Tokyo to give a talk on Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun. I fell in love with a little robot myself and wrote about A.I. and humanity for @LAReviewofBooks Thank you to Michele Pridmore-Brown for working with me! @LOVOT_official

"As loneliness becomes a global epidemic, a LOVOT robot, which does no work and instead demands care, could be just what we need to rehabilitate our atrophying emotional muscles." @jerrinetanew visits a LOVOT robotics lab and is unexpectedly enchanted. https://t.co/LHBVaYMEjv

Stunning essay today:

"I always wrote off my husband’s promises to protect me in my moments of despair because I assumed he meant he was prepared to do so physically, an engagement with masculinity that I dislike.

But I had not understood his meaning."

Missed this somehow! Grateful for @bonnie_honig ‘s work in the world and so thrilled to be in the same cluster especially after I took several grad seminars with her at @BrownUniversity !

"I was so young, virginal but precocious, the kind of sexually inexperienced woman who constantly cracked dirty jokes and talked about sex. I thought it was a game I was allowed to play." @jerrinetanew https://t.co/DvwxYHPYL5
