I got to be on my favourite podcast! Loved talking with living legend Lindsay Hunter lithub.com/ben-hinshaw-on…
What an exceptional piece of critical writing this is lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v45/…
Thank you @RuthGilligan! (For reading EWYM, for getting in touch, and also for allowing me to weaponise your kind words for promotional purposes...)
Riley, Steinbeck, Porter, McCullers...! Surreal and excellent to find EWYM sharing a table with so many of my favourite writers at @Foyles on Charing Cross Rd 🙏
Thank you, Beverley! This has cheered me right up
Has anyone read this book? Loving it so far. (Bonus point for spotting The Wells out there on the left, looking truly hellacious at low tide 💀)
We're delighted to brighten your Friday morning by revealing the gorgeous cover for WEDNESDAY'S CHILD, the dazzling new collection of short stories from Yiyun Li!✨ Spanning a decade of writing, Yi demonstrates why she is one of our finest living authors Out 14th September 2023

Young Writer season is here again, so, in case it helps: I worked on Exactly What You Mean between the ages of 24 and 36, sold it at 39 and published it at 41. Early success is rarer than it seems. Writing takes as long as it takes. Keep going.
Paperbacks! Proud moment seeing my name next to that iconic little bird. Huge thanks to the team @VikingBooksUK 🙏 Due out 23rd March
Signed hardbacks of Exactly What You Mean are currently half-price in the @Waterstones sale! 👇waterstones.com/book/exactly-w…
