Asia Literary Review #35 is Out….

The thirty-fifth edition of the Asia Literary Review is out now – it includes an excerpt from my book City of Devils as well as lots of other good stuff…including an interview with Anuradha Roy, who has just been announced winner of the 2018 TATA Book of the Year Award for Fiction.

There’s lots of fiction, and we feature stories set in India, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, the US and North Korea. Start with Zach Macdonald’s A Happy Ending - a harrowing counterpoint to cheerful media reports about the Korean Peninsula. Finally, sample some of the issue’s poetry with Kunwar Narain and Katherine Wu.
