I was a guest in this writing podcast.
We talked about Hong Kong’s new National Security Law, government censorship, the complicated nature of revolutions, and the importance of free speech to the work of a writer.
Security law: An attempt to erase the memory of Hong Kong as it really was
Tuesday, July 21, 2020
In Yoko Ogawa’s novel The Memory Police, a new government takes over a small island off the coast of Japan and begins to remove objects from its residents’ memories.
First, the residents must bring out a chosen item from their possessions and destroy it by killing, burning, burying, or discarding it in the rivers and oceans. Then, as time goes on, the people’s ability to remember begins to fade, until all is forgotten.
The chosen items start off mundane – such as bells, perfume, emeralds, and birds – but eventually grows to newspapers, televisions, and the ferry that takes people from the island to the mainland.

It's been a long process. I submitted this story over a year ago, and now it's finally in print. I'm now in the running of Best American Short Stories, as this is one of the publications they pull stories from.
I'm so very grateful and proud.
