John Ross: "I recently spoke with Kim Liao about her new book on her grandfather, Thomas Liao, pioneer Taiwan independence fighter."

The first thing I do when I’m on Xmas break after my fall semester ends: clean out ALL of my email inboxes. (This also involves doing all the legwork implied by each email….) The OCD itch is getting scratched so hard
