Comments on 2008 Beijing International Literary Festival
I hope China will exercise its censorship on publication and exhibition in full force to show the world a real China.
for once I agree that censorship could play a useful role in this "international literary festival" of investment bankers, journalists and student slackers. bookworm pretension at its very worst. I'm just surprised Jeremy is doing a round table.
Lots of cross-over with the Shanghai International Literary Festival:

sorry, meant 'just surprised jeremy isn't doing a round table.' but as that was meant light heartedly anyway, the whole point of the sentence has collapsed around me.
Highlight of the festival has to be Nury Vittachi night at Fish Nation. What a perfect combination. He'll be doing a column for that literary masterpiece City Weekend next. What do you mean he already has?? I must get back issues.
This whole thing has to be a huge hoax. Bookworm finally showing that it doesn't take itself quite as seriously at it has inferred in the past. Tell me its an april 1st come early...
I'm looking forward to this!
How can i buy this book in Beijing ? Many Thanks!
