Hi friends. The audiobook for Chinese Prodigal was released last week, so if you've been waiting to read it, why not have me read it to you? (Yes, I'm the narrator!) It's available on Audible (Amazon), Apple Books, and Audiobooks.com. Thanks!

the hanania affair is most revealing for the simple reason that it is the easiest possible case. do you disavow and exclude the legitimately stupid guy who is openly a genocidal racist? and for a bunch of the commentariat the answer is “maybe…no?”
