#PBPitch A storm of grief has sailed into the lives of a young girl and her mother. Slowly the winds calm and a walk through the city reminds them of memories they can hold onto and never forget. #Lyrical #grief

Xi Xi: "Hong Kong has always been a 'cultural oasis'. [...] The Hong Kong experience is unique in this world. Every day there is something new; it's not a pool of dead water but a spring for writing. If Hong Kong literature is overlooked, it's a problem of commerce."

@MaureenTai @litfest_hk Have fun! And you are back🍦

"A balm" I've been recommending this book to many, but have trouble explaining why I think they should read it. I said to some, this is a book for humanity. "A balm" for humanity says so much more. Thanks for sharing the review and writing books for humans @DaveAlexRoberts

Review:
“The Theory of Crows…is a story about what it means to be an Indigenous person today. It’s also a story depicting grief, depression, and anxiety. In an uncertain world, when so many of us feel a little tired and broken, (it) is a balm.” https://t.co/zm84ULudph

Two weeks have flown by since the 2023 Hong Kong International Literary Festival. #柏葉幸子 (with hapless interpreter me) joined novelists @vmkupersmith and @zenaldehyde, plus moderator @daphneleeml, to discuss writing Asian ghosts into fiction. #hklitfest

[Hong Kong International Literary Festival @litfest_hk]

Hear from the Program Director herself @MaureenTai - “We need this festival, Hong Kong needs it!”

A big thank you to the team, authors, volunteers & most importantly YOU all, YOU make this festival a huge success.
