Meléndez-Badillo, who collaborated with Bad Bunny on his recent album and tour, is associate professor of Latin American and Caribbean History at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and author of the award-winning book, Puerto Rico: A National History.

Book Discussion | Writer Sheung-King Talks about His New Novel, Batshit Seven


Writer Sheung-King (author of You Are Eating an Orange. You Are Naked., a finalist for the 2021 Governor General’s Award and the 2021 Amazon Canada First Novel Award), discusses his new novel, Batshit Seven. He speaks with translator Jeremy Tiang. The novel is about a millennial living through the Hong Kong protests, as he struggles to make sense of modern life and the parts of himself that just won’t gel. Inventive and utterly irresistible, with QR codes woven throughout, Sheung-King’s ingenious novel encapsulates the anxieties and apathies of the millennial experience. Batshit Seven is an ode to a beloved city, an indictment of the cycles of imperialism, and a reminder of the beautiful things left under the hype of commodified living.
