So proud to be inside this gorgeous, ghostly, and at times disgusting magazine.

My story is about a guy whose mind is disintegrating while he traverses one of the richest stretches of land in England - also disintegrating.

And with zero spite: happy St Andrews Day 🤠🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Chuffed to be in the Asian Review of Books covering a novel that pulled me right in (tr by @jeremytiang.bsky.social 👑)

It's about a nanny stuck caring for a boy while his ultra rich parents flee a corruption investigation 🇨🇳

Plus there is a goose 🦢 and it's loose

Have been sending out a 'mad wee story' today. Very experimental, about a fish digitally spliced with a man.

A month or so ago I was sending out a far more normal story, about sensory deprivation.

If you the reader know any editors looking for scratchings, lemme know!

Drugs. Rubber aliens. A paradise of sadness. Thank you @myetcetera.bsky.social for taking my strange writings on two heartfelt Chinese films and only truly debased creation from, of all people, Filthy Frank 👽

I was a little shy to make such a claim about translated Chinese fiction at first, then had to stop and think: "come on man, you've read a LOT of it"
"Delicious Hunger stands out not only among Tiang’s formidable credits, but also from translated Chinese fiction as a whole,& indeed from on-the-ground revolutionary fiction."

Proud to be in there with my story of a lovely little walk through the 'footballer belt' just south of Manchester. The golden triangle. The Cheshire Plain. And in the near future. Our extremely promising near future...

My story 'Aether' is in here. I couldn't have asked for a more appropriate home. Dread, dreaming, and our steadily disintegrating society, scattered like ash across a Stockport suburb. Thank you Mirjana for taking this one on 🧙 It's definitely in the 'pain' corner of this issue.
