Jonathan Mirsky, 1932-2021
Posted: September 27th, 2021 | No Comments »Sorry to hear of the death of Jonathan Mirsky earlier this month. He was always a fascinating and combative interlocutor on matters China and, for me, a witness to a China i was just too young to experience. My own personal memory of him is after he kindly reviewed a book of mine favourably for The Literary Review we had lunch several times at the restaurant in John Lewis on Oxford Street overlooking Cavendish Square. I assume he was a regular as he knew all the staff by the name and it seemed everyone stopped by his table to say hi.
Here are two obituaries:
Jonathan Steele in The Observer
And, Stephen Vines for the HK FCC
