From Xi Xu: Delighted to be in Kim Echlin's issue of the Hamilton Arts & Letters Magazine 15th anniversary issue (theme: "My Country is the World") with a reprint of "Les Estrangers," my ekphrastic essay from INTERRUPTIONS, which I co-authored with photographer David Clarke.

READ IT!
In 1922, the famed author and hunter of man-eating tigers, Major William Mohan of India, receives an invitation to Ireland from none other than William Butler Yeats and Lord Dunsany, ostensibly as a literary visit, but in actuality to rid their part of the Irish countryside of a mysterious wolf-like creature — the Cu-Sith of legend. Skeptical, but eager to leave India given potential legal troubles, Mohan accepts the invitation. Thus begins a globe-spanning adventure taking place in Tanganyika in Eastern Africa, the India-Nepal border, England and Ireland. SHIKARI (hunter) guest stars some of the greatest literary figures from the past century, and involves two-thousand year old secret organizations, proto-Nazi groups, and occult societies such as The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

Thrilled to have such a thoughtful review of the FNCR shortlisted Go Down Odawa Way from the fine folks at Hamilton Arts & Letters Magazine. Book reviews can be relatively difficult to receive today. Extremely grateful for the attention and consideration of my work by Bird and HAL.

Explore a decolonized take on southern lands of the Three Fires. Consider checking out this review, getting you ready for the drop of North of Middle Island this fall.
