Making sense of the many Chinas: a dialogue between Xiaolu Guo and Jeffrey Wasserstrom
SOASThornhaugh Street, Russell Square
Tue 27 Oct · 19:00
About this event
As different as Xiaolu Guo's personal, story-driven Everyday Tang is from historian Jeffrey Wasserstrom's Everything You Wanted to Know about China , both are short new books by versatile authors, and both seek to entertain as well as inform general readers. Both also stress the need to remember that China has always been a land characterised by transformations as well as continuities, and one where multiple cultural strands are always in play. In this event, moderated by Dr Carwyn Morris, Guo and Wasserstrom will draw each other out on their latest books and their recent engagements with China, including the most interesting, exciting, unsettling, and unexpected experiences. Registration This event is open to the public and free to attend; however, registration is required. This event is taking place on campus and will not be recorded or live-streamed.

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar talks still playing in London this week.
This venue’s world
This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.
Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other London rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (talks) in London. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
