western diaspora authors writing about the suffering of homeland people is a topic that really needs to be discussed.

idk why but this june woman’s reactions to criticisms seem more real than fictional. it feels as if kuang is letting steam off via her.

not being able to take a one star rating is saddening. i personally love when my “beta readers”/friends break down my work critically with respect and bluntness. #gocandice

well the french and british were actually racist, you dumb white conniving little thief with no sense of decency.

cultural allusions are not bullshit. this catering to western publishing needs has ruined the understanding and originality of reading someone’s story. dumbing down cultural meanings and one’s story and vision is such a western literary thing and i am glad it was highlighted. it makes me furious.

at least she knows she is a racist. 😭

this book is reminding me why i keep a few of my friends at an arm’s length now. you don’t know whose gonna wish the worst for you in the light of your success.
