Bund bastion of literary pursuits and diversions, M on the Bund is hosting a "Mini March LitFest" from March 19–26. The festival is a largely scaled back version of their yearly Shanghai International Literary Festival, which is in March every year, and in its prime hosted over 60 writers and authors from around the world for two weeks of twinkling conversation, glad-handing it on the Bund, and full-on hardcore Grecian orgies writ against that famous Pudong skyline. This year features Tess Johnston, Qiu Xiaolong, Eimear McBride, Francesco Cosentino, Anna Smaill, Tom Rob Smith, and David Hill. More about them in our wire post. You can find a full schedule of events and talks on the official website.
