Wuhan Diary: Dispatches from the Original Epicenter by Fang Fang

4.0

Important, moving, and scary. I began to lose a little interest towards the end as the posts became more and more about the internet trolls hounding the author instead of news of the virus (but to be fair, there is often a lack of news while under quarantine) but the translator’s note at the end gives a good bit of context about why that was important. Other than the virus, it was an interesting dive into how Chinese people interact with their social media and the role of censorship. It was a bit odd to read because at a certain point it became obvious that Fang Fang is a prolific and well-known writer in China and I had never even heard of her.
