@ trevelyan Email received! In the past I've received emails about threads as well, though if there was an interruption during the site upgrade I might not have noticed.

A Popup Chinese quarterly would be GREAT! Understandably a big undertaking though. Part of the reason I asked about magazines is that, while the internet's bounty is vast, articles that require a larger commitment of time, resources, and general brainpower seem to inordinately trend towards print. Not thinking of this site or the huge ongoing contributions that digital publishing have made in China (check the newest Paper Republic newsletter!), but the kind of work that magazines like, say, The Atlantic support, such as putting James Fallows first in Japan and then China for extended periods.

@ Brendan Thanks for the roundup! And, in the process, making an argument for the kind of tools Xiao Hu is calling for.

Also, Brendan, I'm working my way through the first Pathlight and read Xiang Zuotie's stories. Detected a big Borges influence. Has the author made any comments about reading (or not reading) Borges, and, regardless of whether you think that comparison holds water, how do you manage translation in instances of stylistic proximity between the work at hand and other texts?
