As winter solstice approaches, resharing a small poem of longing from a poet of the Chinese diaspora who spent the latter half of his life in Taiwan. He died there in December seven years ago, in 2017.

This Spring 2025 MODEL FIVE MURDER by Tan Juan Gee takes us on a stroll into the realm of sci-fi noir with a story about a cyborg who solves the murder of a dead detective who wears his same face!

my translation of Paris Friend 《巴黎朋友》 by Shuang Xuetao 双雪涛 is in the New Yorker 《纽约客》

going through the change*

*transforming into a malevolent mist

sometimes i read widely with no regard for genre or setting or style, and sometimes i find an author whose stories resonate with me so much i spend a year reading their entire backlog

in lieu of an introduction please have my son tucked in for the Encroaching Winter

*whacks dusty container* ok how does this thing work
