Deep admiration for @BarbaraDemick and the Chinese novelist Fang Fang, winners of the @AsiaSociety @chinabksreview Baifang Schell Book Prize. A great event tonight in NY. Fang Fang, whose books are banned in the PRC, was not able to leave China to accept her award.

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

Please, we need the Washington Post's foreign correspondents. And despite all, I never cancelled my subscription. And advised others not to as well.

Iceland v. Greenland. Guidance from Robert Altman's The Player (1992)
June: Greenland's very icy. Iceland's very green. They switched names to fool the Vikings who tried to steal their women.

My article about an adoptee who grew up thinking she'd been abandoned by her Chinese family. When it ran in May, it went viral (7 million views on Tiktok) and it was just listed among The New Yorker's best articles of 2025. newyorker.com/culture/2025-i…
