A happy writer is me, to be in @asiancha.bsky.social reviewing Kit Fan's new novel.
Read on for musings bouncing off Boris Johnson, baozi class war, and the pains of being a sister-mother. Plus where to get a spam croissant in Stockport π₯

You know, I like this Angus guy, his takes are tasty

The big solution is: run a litmag for a year because it will actually teach you a lot about the texture (and topography) of your own mind culturally and artistically.
New in @asianreviewofbooks.bsky.social: My review of a female bildungsoman of sorts set in Shenzhen (and elsewhere!) amid China's shift to a market economy.

It's an investment bubble trying to escape death.

My inner snob wants to say that blend is 'TV brain', which is odd because TV is so old compared with AI
Sad but true, I do see it as a bit of a filter. For what though, I'm still wondering. Inner life? Gullibility? Or just good old sloth.
Nothing
Escape. From the noise in your head to the burden of emotion to your awful past. Angus Stewart brings us a story about escape and rebirth in Desire to Feel Nothing. www.neondystopia.com?p=100043485
