They might be able to point you in the right direction. I don't think there will be many literary events (in English) outside of the festival periods, though. But worth a shot! Enjoy your trip! // PL @wmc

Can you recommend how I might find other such literary happenings there and in Beijing from 4/1 to 4/10? Thank you!
