Steve Morison's kind profile (partly about me, partly about Zhang Lijia, all in the context of the Beijing expat writers scene) just showed up in Poets & Writers. This kind of thing is Morison's forte--he's also done articles about Kabul and Tangiers (if I remember right, he was the last known person to interview Paul Bowles), and was in Myanmar researching something similar when the typhoon hit.

Tonight begins a week of events--panel discussions, readings and signings, a cabaret--at The Bookworm here in Beijing. I'll be there this evening to serve as moderator for Adam Williams and Qiu Xiaolong, and will return on March 8th as part of the launch for Beijing: Portrait of a City, and then again on the 9th to talk about moral ambiguity in fiction with Nicholas Jose and Edward Ragg.
