May already, and it’s the annual Asia House Literary Festival in London from the 7th to the 18th…For ChinaRhymers there’s some good events including Alex Monro on his book The Paper Trail, Amitav Ghosh launching the third and final installment in his Ibis trilogy, Flood of Fire, writers on the Silk Road and my good self talking Chinese thrillers with Adam Brookes and A Yi….full details here and more on my event below….

Is Asia the perfect setting for the modern day thriller? To mark the launch of the second instalment of Adam Brookes’ Asian spy series (out in June 2015), the Washington-based journalist will offer a persuasive argument that it indeed is. Brookes will be joined on stage by acclaimed Chinese writer A Yi, whose thriller A Perfect Crime has recently been translated, and Paul French, author of the bestselling page-turner Midnight in Peking. A highly entertaining and adrenalin filled night, where the lines between fact and fiction will blur. A Yi’s appearance has been supported by a PEN Promotes! Award from English PEN.
