In my novel,the heroine goes for a date to the M on the Bund restaurant ... and their manager was kind enough to go over the 2 pages and make corrections. Shanghai Literary Festival hasa page on Facebook, where they show many pictures.G.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652216131823877445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848620772908416660.post-88672461879384989862012-03-13T23:22:33.130+08:002012-03-13T23:22:33.130+08:00Glad you enjoyed Shanghai, bet the Lit Fest was gr...Glad you enjoyed Shanghai, bet the Lit Fest was great. The only author I have met in HK is Diana Wu who wrote a kids board book which she signed for my 2 grandchildren.When I was working,I met loads of authors including JK Rowling.As for bookspotting this week, I saw a Chinese girl in Shatin reading Romeo and Juliet in English and a Western man in a cafe reading a green coloured paperback which looked vaguely familiar, maybe a Jo Nesbo? Couldn't really see clearly.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457861370241862301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848620772908416660.post-59551968926994502862012-03-13T12:18:21.036+08:002012-03-13T12:18:21.036+08:00Sounds like you had a fantastic time in Shanghai. ...Sounds like you had a fantastic time in Shanghai. I can't wait to read more about it! The last author I met was Xu Xi (last month) and I believe you probably saw her in Shanghai since she was going there after Chicago.Susan Blumberg-Kasonhttp://www.susanbkason.comnoreply@blogger.com
