What a cruel thing war is... to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors.
In February of this year I returned to China to research my next book. The authorities know about the novels of mine that have been published in the west, including the latest one, Beijing Coma, about a student shot in Tiananmen Square, but so far have allowed me to return.
The cool thing about my profession is that I can do it until the day I die.
