I'm going to be at the Beijing Bookworm at 7:30pm to talk about the Atlantic, the U.S. media, politics, writing projects, and so forth. This is part of the Bookworm's long-established and active program of presentations by writers in the vicinity.
(Address: Building 4, Nan Sanlitun Road, Chao Yang District.)
