Bandit heroes, horse-dragons, beheadings that don't stick, and warlords who become gods. Old Chinese lit is wayyy trippier than you think. And John Zhu built a podcast that retells it in English! See our #flightsoffoundry interview with him at 7PM CDT tonight: www.accelevents.com/e/flights-of...

How do you plan a creative project that will last 3+ years? John Zhu knew bringing ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS to English podcast form would take at least that long. 12 years and 4 Chinese epics later... See us interview him 7PM CDT at #flightsoffoundry! www.accelevents.com/e/flights-of...

Literally just finished the audio book of The Language of Liars by @slhuang.com and when I tell you I cried buckets, I am not exaggerating. Highly highly recommend this stunning work. And, speaking as a voice actor and director, the audio performance was perfect!! bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Ancient Chinese literature is rife with melee fights, larger-than-life characters, & the supernatural. John Zhu is making these epics accessible to modern English audiences -- as a podcast! We'll interview him as #flightsoffoundry Guest of Honor, today 7PM CDT: www.accelevents.com/e/flights-of...

I finished @slhuang.com's powerful, poignant THE LANGUAGE OF LIARS in one sitting. I'm a sucker for SFF that involves linguistics and social issues; this novel has both in spades. I figured out the endgame pretty early but that by no means diminished my enjoyment. Superbly done.

So you wanna podcast literature? John Zhu has been doing it for over a decade. Come see us interview him at 7PM CDT / 8PM EDT Friday at #flightsoffoundry: www.accelevents.com/e/flights-of...

I hit repost too fast bc I needed to add THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN 😭😭😭 also "full immersion study abroad program all-time champion" for a character who jumps bodies by increasing language fluency is *chef's kiss* brb changing the tagline of the book everywhere 🚀🦑

This book gave me so many feelings I had to draw tonally inappropriate silly fanart about it!! We love our foreign language full immersion study abroad program all-time champion Ro!!!

i just finished "The Language of Liars" by @slhuang.com and holy WOW. this is a book that nails the novella format so well, especially for reading slowly and carefully. picking it apart. it's a book for: - language nerds - travelers (time or otherwise) - people who like their friends - people

Happy Pride! As far as I know, none of my books are on sale, but if you want a romance involving an anxious bisexual man or a museum ethics adventure with a princess lesbian and a feral knight bisexual woman, I got you. tachyonpublications.com/product/bitt... bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

I'm in the middle of Villain by @nataliezed.bsky.social ; it's amazing so far. It's a sequel to Hench, one of my all-time favorites. Just finished The Language of Liars by @slhuang.com , heartbreaking and wonderful. Also Automatic Noodle by @annaleen.bsky.social was a bunch of fun.
