No, this week's Sinica isn't an attack on Element Fresh. Rather, it's a discussion hosted by Kaiser Kuo about the new book Unsavory Elements, an anthology of stories and essays about the experiences of expats in China. And joining us for this discussion is none other than Tom Carter, editor of the book, along with Shanghai-based publisher Graham Earnshaw of Earnshaw Press. You can either listen to the show using our online player, or download it as a standalone mp3 file.

As a quick note before the show, if you'd like to subscribe to Sinica via iTunes and have your computer automatically download new episodes as they become available, just open iTunes, click on the "File" menu and select "Subscribe to Podcast". When prompted for the address of our RSS feed, provide the URL http://popupchinese.com/feeds/custom/sinica. And if you have any problems, write us anytime at service@popupchinese.com.

It sounds like a great read! I'm based in Kunming, and as far as I'm aware the best chance I have of getting hold of English literature here is in Xinhua bookstore. Any chance they'll be selling it?

Some good questions asked, Kaiser. And dodged somewhat. Does sound like it might be a good read here and there, nonetheless.
