He is himself an author, of Wish Lanterns: Young Lives in New China, a BBC Book of the Week, and of the forthcoming The Mountains Are High, a literary nonfiction reported memoir from the valley of Dali in southwest China, following the stories of 'reverse migrants' who moved there from the big cities. ![]() ![]() Alec, who recently returned from a decade of living in China, is currently The Wire China’s books editor, and former managing editor of the Los Angeles Review of Books China Channel. We are delighted to welcome Alec Ash as the China Books Review’s editor. Barboza and Schell will serve as co-publishers of the China Books Review. This digital magazine, set to launch later this year, is the brainchild of Asia Society Vice President and the Center’s Arthur Ross Director Orville Schell and The Wire China’s Co-Founder David Barboza, a former New York Times Shanghai bureau chief and business correspondent who, during his dozen years based in China, won two Pulitzer Prizes. We aim to make the China Books Review an inviting and accessible site for anyone who follows or is curious about China, and seeks to better understand this complex nation at a critical juncture in its history. In short, the China Books Review will provide a wealth of critical commentary, free to access, on books about China and from China, from new publications to archival gems. It will also present lists of upcoming China books, bestsellers, book-related events, Chinese titles, China books from the historical archive, and recommendations by China specialists from their own bookshelves. The China Books Review will offer reviews by respected writers, interviews with authors, edited excerpts, and more general essays in the tradition of The New York Review of Books, focusing on books about and from China, as well as the greater Sinophone world. Asia Society’s Center on U.S.-China Relations is pleased to announce its new collaboration with The Wire China to create the upcoming China Books Review, an online publication that will provide information, insight, and intelligent commentary about all things China books-related.
